In the recent sample papers released by the Consortium for CLAT-UG.. There was just a mismatch between the actual pattern of the exam and the SP.. like in the sample paper 1,2 they gave Very short paragraphs in the sections of English and logical reasoning Just like the pattern of LSAT India (they didnt even included the legal and qts part If this is the case why they didnt updated the syllabus on their website which clearly says (450 words per passage).. Anyone from insider can clarify on whats going on with this body or the pattern has been changed or not? Didn`t know what this body will be going to do with this exam.

Trolls stay away please!!

Designer clothes, watches etc. Luxury cars etc. Business class travel etc. Champagne, caviar etc.

These are routine things in the life of a Senior Advocate or law firm owner, but menial labourers like us are also experiencing some of it, as we gradually climb up the ladder. So what are some of the good things you have got a taste of?

hi, you will most likely be part of the ESG group. the first week revolves around you reading articles and listening to podcasts on ESG related matters. you will then be introduced to what the compliance work is. basically each intern will be assigned a Statute (act + rule) and you will have to fill the compliance requirements in an excel sheet. they will send you the required formats and run you through how everything is done. there are daily update calls. in all honestly, the work is very less and they are quite accommodating and give good enough deadlines - so it is quite chill.

Started new job at a T1, don't feel good coming to office, i feel suffocated, should I change my job? I am willing to shift even if the offered package is going to be lower than my present one.

But I am scared if it's the right decision, bottom line is that I am not happy right now, but then I see people jobless and everything. So please suggest, what should be my next step.

If you're fine being in AC most of the day, Kochi is a good city to retire. Some favourable factors- less bothersome people, lack of industry so not that much pollution, access to good health infrastructure including palliative care & decent law enforcement. Negatives are - if you want to set a side business, it will be a little difficult, many locals don't know a word of Hindi/English so you'll have to learn a little bit of Malayalam even if they don't mind people not speaking Malayalam, many houses being built on low level so may get flooded at times.

For quality of life, OP should note local cuisine is a hit or miss - not everyone likes spicy food. The seasons are too hot or too cold. Also the OP hasn’t mentioned social life, but most of Nagpur’s bright young population has moved out to greener pastures. If one can get past these, Nagpur is a decent place to live and even retire.

They're more interested in their own internal issues, as they should be. Not only has the quality of every NLU gone down but so has their SBCs. Moreover SBCs hardly have power to address their own issues that they'd do something for someone else. Ever since it's become a den of drugs, weed & money, SBCs have become useless. It's not better than central university good led Pol parties.

Don't crib about not being from NLU. I am myself from a Tier 3 law college and I got three job offers right after college. A lot depends on your merit too. I got into a firm, a really good Senior Designate's chamber at SC and at a MNC. I went with the senior counsel because its beneath the dignity of a lawyer to get a job. Law is a noble profession for a reason. I pity those corporate babus who slave off at firms, don't be like them, bro. There is a thrill in practising law. The rush it gives you is something different. I suggest that you start practicing. You'll earn nothing now, but soon you'll do good. My mom began her journey as the second woman in the district to enroll, and she ultimately thrived. Believe in yourself and don't become a corporate lolyer. They are up to no good. Dont waste your degree by getting a job, practise.

Firstly they can only threaten you. Once you act they would want to hush everything themselves as they don’t want to get into a legal tussle or face public scrutiny. The worst they can do is that the Bar Council will issue a Show Cause. They can’t simply cancel your registration. File a writ against it. Show how the SCN has been illegally issued because you filed a police complaint against another lawyer who sexually assaulted you. Your senior will also have to explain before the Court how she dealt with the issue once you raised it and why a show cause notice was issued after an FIR against another lawyer and why the other lawyer was not show caused but you were. Have the courage to fight it. Others won’t fight it for you. Either you be ready for a long fight or simply abandon the issue and move to another chamber.

woman to woman. Its easy for people to tell you to complain and make things public when their lives are not on the line. You know your circumstances best. If youre able to find rival lawyers who will champion your case- that might be one thing. But if not- I would just look for other jobs and leave and pull myself out of danger.

Hi, I am an incoming associate at DLL. My interview with the MP is still pending but I am told that I am in for the job and that I will have the salary discussion with him and will be paid at par with my PQE level at the firm. What is the salary structure like for A0/A1/A2/A3/SA and is there pay parity within the firm or is there a non-NLU bias. The info available on LI is variable and old, if some current DLL person can respond, it would be great.

Hi, while this question is perennial and there may never be a comprehensive answer to it, a ground level list of pros and cons may be helpful.

Having 2.5 yr. PQE in Corporate, I'm looking for a career switch. Either really good work or even better pay. Suggestions are welcome.

Litigations in Delhi, please help me with the following:

1. Is it mandatory to do verification during the ongoing verification process? I was enrolled in 2016. Haven't been to courts in the last 2 years.

2. Is there an introduction of proximity cards in the Delhi High Court also like the Supreme Court?

Basketball, Frisbee, Tennis and Football - lots of people play and we have the infra on campus.

Everything else - there is no infra on campus. Overall not much of a culture, many people are nerds who don't step outside hostel-library-academic block. Those who play have a good community.

BCI Rules don't randomly allow BCI to suspend all convicted criminals. Only "offences of moral turpitude" carry disqualification under the advocates act. The circular is simply overbroad: it covers not only all criminal convictions, but even pending cases! There is no way this can be a reasonable exercise of the BCI's powers.

In any case the disqualification only applies where a law graduate seeks to enrol as an advocate. It is no ground for withholding a degree. Education cannot be withheld to anyone interested irrespective of their criminal status - many individuals in jail in fact undertake educational courses through distance learning as part of their reformation. This circular is wholly illegal.

Biometric attendance, CCTV surveillance etc will fail the test of proportionality under the Puttaswamy judgment on at least two grounds: there is no legal authorisation, and therefore no legitimate purpose (Advocates Act only authorises BCI to maintain "standards of legal education" which is a far stretch); and these are not the least invasive alternatives available to maintain attendance (or prevent fraud).

Let’s not trivialise anyones life.

The truth remains, the EPs have built their ivory towers on top of multiple sacrifices by their associates. And yes, such sacrifices include ones life. From Bengaluru to Delhi, associates have already laid down their lives.

Yet, the top of the pyramid remains flooded with resources and the bottom of the pyramid, as always, remains significantly divided.

For all who have been sleeping under a rock!

Few of the BigLaw firms have already faced the same situation EY is facing today.

From 2015 onwards atleast 4-5 associates have passed away due to questionable circumstances. And yet, nothing has changed.

Even recently a tier-2 firm lost one of its senior associates in mumbai. No one will ever speak up.

Get back to work now!

it's a bit of a doubt but generally these things don't translate unless you become a prominent member of the lawyers wing of most state parties/get very close to that particular senior. But these seniors do usually have tons of juniors who are just party nepo babies (my personal experience from P Wilson's office, don't take this the wrong way). If you can put in the efforts and have the charisma/backing that you need to succeed in the political world, it's a really good choice, but if you're lacking in those aspects, it's maybe not going to be the best path forward. Just my 2 cents though please feel free to prove me wrong

Career? Yes. Your chamber? Maybe.

Elections? Maybe not.Kaafi log pehle se line mein hote hain. Multi generational politically connected, asset rich people who are clamouring for a ticket. Unless you have found the limelight at the national level (good or bad reasons), or are a washing machine for the party, or above all, are a phenomenal speaker, political entry is difficult. Yes, your role will teach you the unwritten rules. But maybe temper your ambitions, and truly be in the game for the people, and a ticket might be possible in a decade or two.

I am currently in my fourth year at a tier 3 NLU and have been focusing my internships on boutique firms. I wanted to know if I should pivot toward tier 1 internships or not.

*I have not done a single Tier 1( sadly didn't made the cut).

*Should I take this opportunity for beginning my journey into tier 1 firms?

Daily with both veg and non veg options - stuff like sub, pizza, chaat, momos, noodles, pasta, pav bhaji, etc + fruit + something sweet at times as well. You also get the usual tea, coffee, bread + jams and butters, vending machines, coconut water and different infused waters.
