This gangsta (who ordered the hit on Sidhu Moosewalla) is trending today, in connection with the Baba Siddique murder. But first time I heard of a gangsta with an LLB. 🤣

- How lucrative social media content creation is and, by contrast, how little YouTube, Instagram etc pay to content creators.
- How lucrative p0rn is, when it can be mainstreamed into a respectable business
- Why, following from the above, countries like India should legalise p0rn and tax it. Can raise billions in GST.

Stop being a hater, any half decent lawyer at JSA makes almost or if not more than other T1s after taking into account the bill share. Wake up and smell the coffee + make more honest friends
Avoid: Ajay, Aakash, Sneha, Sahil, Kartikey, Priya
Aim for: Karun, Diwakar, Abhisaar
NLU Jabalpur is new and unlikely to move up the charts soon. So CNLU makes sense. Then again, CNLU was available even when MKS term at ILI was ending. Only MKS knows why he didn't go for CNLU or NLU Ranchi. For all we know MKS is probably moving to NLU Shimla or MNLU Aurangabad.
its a long learning curve, hang in there
But yes, GM, AT and HP are stars
Hemang is a brilliant lawyer, no clue about his team in Mumbai.
Ajay Shaw and Anjan Dasgupta look at Banking and Infrastructure - where long hours are the norm, toxicity is rewarded and attrition is at an all time high in Mumbai.
If your comment alludes to Aparajit Bhattacharya's team in Delhi, you may be right to some degree.
Exact Reason
That's not it....
In NH65 (NLUJ Fest) some boys of Gnlu sexually harassed a girl from another college and when she protested against it...
Students from gnlu said we'll form an internal committee to look at this and then nothing happened.
Worst bunch of students across NLUs.
In moments like these, when grief shrouds the hearts of an entire community, one would expect an outpouring of empathy and relief from an institution that calls itself a place of higher learning. But instead, the examination department of GNLU, known for its lack of consistent communication throughout the semester, has chosen to burden students with the stress of attendance forms and academic submissions at a time when they are barely holding themselves together.
For months, the administration failed to inform students about the crucial attendance mandates—something they had religiously done every Monday in previous semesters. Students, already juggling the pressures of mid-semester exams and continuous evaluation tests, were left in the dark about their attendance status. And now, after the death of a young student, instead of offering compassion and understanding, they are suddenly demanding that students submit attendance exemption forms. How can they ask this of students who are grappling with such immense sorrow? How can they demand forms, submissions, and exams when a fellow student is no longer alive, and the boys’ hostel is overwhelmed with grief?
The boys' hostel—Tushar's home—is not just a building with rooms. It is a place where bonds are formed, where students become family to one another. It is a home in every sense of the word. And now, in the wake of Tushar’s death, this home is drowning in sadness. Students are breaking down, crying uncontrollably, consumed by the weight of losing someone they saw every day. His roommate, a young man barely into adulthood, sat by my side the entire night, unable to stop the tears. How can anyone in such a state be expected to focus on exams, submissions, or even mundane tasks like filling out exemption forms?
Some students are trying to cope with their pain through graffiti and spray-painting, trying to express their anguish in the only way they know how. Others have retreated into themselves, weeping silently, unable to comprehend the loss. The sadness is palpable in every corner of the hostel. It is not just the loss of Tushar but the feeling of helplessness, the overwhelming realization that life has been cruelly snatched away from someone they considered a brother.
And what has GNLU’s response been? An impersonal condolence meeting, swiftly followed by demands for academic tasks. The very next day after Tushar’s death, first-year students were asked to submit research papers. This is not just insensitive—it is inhumane. How can the administration expect the batchmates of the deceased to carry on as though nothing has happened? How can they so quickly turn to the cold mechanics of academia when the hearts of their students are shattered?
In Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) last year, when a student died in a car accident, the university displayed empathy. Exams were canceled, academic duties were suspended, and students were sent home to be with their families, to heal, to grieve. They understood that in moments like these, no research paper or exam is more important than a human life. GNLU has failed to show this basic humanity. The administration did not even bother to send a professor or representative to Bhopal to check on the students who were stuck there, being questioned by police, scared and alone in a foreign city. They left them to fend for themselves.
Instead of stepping in to clarify the circumstances surrounding Tushar’s death, to ease the minds of students tormented by rumors of ragging or foul play, the administration has remained silent. This silence has only fueled the spread of misinformation, leaving students in a state of confusion and anger. It is the administration’s duty to provide clarity, to offer support, and to ensure that students are not further traumatized by the swirling rumors and speculations.
The lack of communication from the administration has not only caused distress but also deepened the wounds of the grieving students. And now, when they should be offering academic relief, extending deadlines, and prioritizing the mental well-being of students, GNLU has done the opposite. Attendance forms, research papers, group discussions—all of these continue as though Tushar’s death never happened, as though the students are expected to carry on without a pause. The administration’s actions—or rather, inaction—are a painful reminder that for them, academic schedules take precedence over human life.
The boys' hostel is a community in mourning. The students are not just grappling with the loss of a friend—they are grappling with the fragility of life itself. They need time to process, to come to terms with what has happened. Forcing them to continue with academic duties in the midst of this trauma is not only cruel but detrimental to their mental health. What they need now is not deadlines and submissions but time to heal. They need to be with their families, to be with people who love them, not trapped in a hostel that now feels like a tomb.
The university must understand that this is not just about academics. It is about humanity. The students need to be relieved from their academic duties, just as students were at RGNUL. They need time to grieve, to remember their friend, to find some semblance of peace in a world that has suddenly turned dark. GNLU’s administration must extend the deadlines, suspend exams, and offer the students the relief they so desperately need. Mental peace cannot be found in forms and submissions—it is found in understanding, compassion, and time.
This tragedy has shown us that GNLU is not just failing to run a university—▮▮▮. And in a time like this, that is the greatest failure of all.
He was a 1st year ▮▮▮ with seniors when the faculty accompanying them knocked the door, this scared the shit out of him and he tried going to some other room through the window, while doing this he fell.
Om Shanti
I wanna know how common are such lock in periods for retainerships and did any of you were subjected to the same with your contract?
I’m wondering if there is literally anything that balances all of these well or whether the doom about work and the job market in India is justified?
I wanted to start out as a corporate lawyer but no one seems to be interested in taking a law graduate from a state university, despite my best efforts. Consequently, I picked a law office from the bunch one can easily find at Def Col at my father's instance. Now I know that I don't come from a family of lawyers or from a prestigious law school, but I thought, if maybe I put enough hardwork and dedication into it, I might be able to turn things a little into my favor.
Sadly, after a year, I am still at the same place. The dedication and hardwork has turned into exploitation at the hand of my employer. I am working 12 hours a day and with no leave even on public holidays. I am sure alot of people would relate. On top of it, I haven't received my "peanuts" for last three months. The stress is overwhelming. I am not moving, I am not learning, I am not getting the exposure or the experience I was promised.
For months, I kept telling myself that this is what it takes, everyone has to go through this. Infact, I wanted a compelling story for myself, one of great efforts, dedication and hardwork.
But now a almost a year has passed and I don't see it happening for me. I have lost weight, lost a fair share of hair, heaviest eyelids and darkest circles under my eye. Even after a lot of initiatives I am still delegated the same classic work of taking adjournments and running after my senior with an Ipad - of which I have no use.
It really hurts when my parents ask about my work. They always expected great things from me. How do I tell them the reality?
I pass Dhir & Dhir and Saraf & Partners everyday on my way to work. They seem so close yet so far. Alot of people here will say that they are not great firms either, but to me, they are definitely better than the one I am working at currently.
I don't want to be the one who cries for recommendations everywhere, but with no connections in the fraternity and being a first gen lawyer from a mediocre state university, I am left with no other options.
I just need an opportunity. I sincerely request everyone consider this heartfully and to divert any leads or openings they come around towards me, or recommend my name to their teams and offices, or simply suggest me a way forward from this point. I would be grateful beyond words.
