Specialise. Specialise and specialise. Pick one area of practice in law, stick to it and read only related to it. Being in criminal litigation, I hardly remember contract, property, land law, family apart from the basics. But ask me anything about criminal law and procedures, I won't miss a beat !

bhai Trump tower isn't popular even in a city like Kolkata, let alone internationally. It gets overshadowed by the Atmosphere tower right next to it, which is lot more magnificent and posh. That's the case with Camellias as well. It's a brand in its own. Just because it's DLF, an Indian brand, doesn't mean it got to be cheap.

One sentence summary: Indian law firm is so desperate to be seen as relevant that they get quoted in the New York Times, and get a low-paid PR agent (who probably never went to university, or flunked out if they did) to go on a site frequented (largely) by law students who can't quite stop being high school trolls yet, to say that they (the law firm representative, not the PR agent) have been quoted in the New York Times.

Idk which mbas finance yall have worked across on deals but the ones I do work with/are clients have it as bad as us. Doing an MBA for better life is straight up dumb. Do something else; you're just changing the nature of work you do the industry is still the same. Words vs numbers is the choice not good vs bad. Realign your priorities; stop looking at the highest paying careers if wlb is a priority; move to something chill-er as an industry itself.

I feel like MBA is good for career but only if you graduate from B schools (IIM) if not then again its a waste of money and time. As you would be wasting your 2 years doing MBA and end up getting 6-10 LPA max 12-15 LPA from a average college which you can get after 2 year of PQE of a law firm easily and also MBA is not cheap its cost around 20 LPA fees being bare minimum. I feel like we should instead work at least 3 year in a law firm and then shift to a In house legal counsel role for work life balance. I am personally aiming for legal role in the Big 4 or some good tech company. Hope you find this insight full.

Have you read them? What is the murder rate in this country, and what is the femicide rate? What percentage of murderers and violent criminals are men, and what per cent are women? What percentage of convicted sex criminals are men vs. women?

Men commit suicide because men largely commit violence against each other and are more successful in committing violence against themselves. It is not incumbent upon women to throw away hard-won safeguarding on the presumption that men would feel better about their lives if they did so. Men must make their lives better instead of foisting the blame for their well-being on women. Especially when women do not engage in large-scale violence or harassment of men at all to any degree. Stop blaming women for men's problems!

All you need to see are the Juniors from KK Venugopal's Chamber -

Countless more Senior Advocates as well as Judges have been produced by this one Chamber.

Real Estate look at Wadia Ghandy (entire wing under Dhaval Mehta); DSK Legal (Sajit Suvarna), Dhaval vussonji are at top. ELP, Khaitan (a top partner left the firm), SAM, Trilegal are doing decent.

The top real estate firms don't pay that well, but DSK pays the highest. You can work there for a while and then leave for Trilegal, Khaitan, or a similar firm.

Justice Yadav delivered a lecture on the Constitutional Necessity of Uniform Civil Code at an event organised by the VHP in Prayagraj on December 8. “I have no hesitation in saying that this is Hindustan, this country would function as per the wishes of the bahusankhyak living in Hindustan. This is the Law. You can't say that you are saying this being a High Court Judge. The law, in fact, works according to the majority. Look at it in the context of family or society...Only what benefits the welfare and happiness of the majority will be accepted,” he said, speaking at the event, according to the legal news website LiveLaw.

I just got into 3rd year in a state law college (i took this college as a backup for my partial drop for clat 2 years ago). Prepared day and night for clat last year with the dream of getting into NLSIU. Somehow messed up last year's CLAT. I took CLAT this year so that I don't regret it later on, and also i had developed a fear of exams after the CLAT 2024 fiasco I was also having a very low self esteem. I got a good rank this year enough to get NLS. I'm 19 years old currently and will turn 20 soon. My goal is to get into corporate law. Should I join NLSIU or continue in my law college. I haven't focused on studies in this college at all, I've just passed my exams with no co or extra curriculars whatsoever.

Some more info: took clat 23 with 3 months of prep, got into a tier 2 NLU, didn't take it. wrote clat 2024, didn't get any nlu. Took clat 25 and here I am.

Also is 20 too old to start law school (i passed out from 12th in 2022)

Help me out y'all

Genocide ? Really ? Genocide ? Please tell me which sex commits 95% of murders ? And which sex is disproportionately vulnerable to murder and violence ? You can cook up most stats in the criminal justice system - but murder rate is one of the few it’s hard to fudge. No policeman anywhere is refusing to prosecute female murderesses and courts are not biased in their favour. The evidence is pretty damn clear. Men do nearly all the killing in this world. They do it to women, and they do it to other men too.

And when is it that women are most susceptible to violence ? When they’re old or too young or when they’re pregnant. What a noble sex class men are to pick on the weak! Please tell me which sex class commits 98% of sexual crimes ? Oh right - men.

I’m sure there is a case somewhere where some woman lied about experiencing violence. All people lie. But it’s pretty disgusting to claim there’s a male genocide going on when it’s the female sex class that’s been hounded and hurt and killed routinely and consistently through history. They’re subject to foeticide and infanticide as babies and their corpses are violated after they’re dead. FOH with this bullshit.

I have been interning with the disputes team of T2 firms for the past six months, thinking it would change my perspective and prove to be a lucrative field that I could pursue for the initial few years before shifting to counsel practice. However, each passing day serves as motivation to not join firms, even if they are offering attractive salaries. I believe I will be more satisfied if I join a chamber and work my way up gradually. I am seeking genuine guidance on which chambers I should try joining or which chambers in Bombay would be willing to take me in. Additionally, I would appreciate insights into the hiring status of the chambers of Sr. Adv. Venkatesh Dhond and Sr. Adv. Milind Sathe.

after the worst clat paper in its history, I ended up with a rank of around 1200, which could POTENTIALLY get me into nlu odisha in the best case scenario. however, I am sure that i will secure a seat in nlu patiala (and other lower ranked nlus) or most likely, in the DU ba/bba llb program.

right now, I am leaning towards DU, mainly because I already live in delhi and am drawn to its legacy along with some personal reasons. I am also considering a career in litigation, especially after discussing it with my parents. as a to be first-gen lawyer, i'm still a little confsued, but I am willing to improve my speaking skills and would be open to pursuing CA alongside my law degree if the circumstances and my mental capacity allow. I can’t really picture myself in an office job, so that’s not something i’m interested in. I also am slightly inclined to pursue higher studies.

the small network of people i know in the courts might not be as helpful outside of delhi, so i’m seeking advice from people who are already involved in the field.

Dear trolls, stray away, for it is genuine advice I seek today

GNLU zindabad, long live its legacy so grand,

While NLS counts its nobel prizes, I just want a decent plan
