I believed in everything till you said you and your wife have stock investments worth 10 crores. Even with 10 years of judgeship you won't have earned more than 1.5 crores. So how come you would have investments worth 10 crores when your wife, who would have made a little more in the same time period, would have amassed 10 crores? Dont bluff uncle.

It will be a good decision provided you build a good practice in the High Court. You must be knowing lots of advocates at places where you have been posted. Request them to feed you with High Court work, especially appeals. Try to get government empanelment. Appointment in Advocate General's team would be great as you will develop connections with senior government officials and their political masters. You will be 47 when you become eligible for High Court judgeship. If you become HC judge at 50, you can enjoy lordship for 12 years! Best of luck!

I graduated in 2009 right after the financial crisis and without a job in hand. I was stressed for the 3 months it took me to get an offer and couldn’t do anything that helped me get over it.

Then when I finally got two offers, and I accepted one from a firm that many would call the most toxic Indian law firm today, particularly two months in, I realised that I should have just enjoyed the time off after graduating and before (eventually) working.

Your take away - You will definitely find something, don’t fret. Enjoy the downtime because once you start working, you won’t find much time to yourself.

I think the OP is asking about the impact of her activity on her ability to go there. I don't think the going has happened yet.

And as it happens, I completely agree with you - full disclosure, I am a student in England. There is enough talk in western societies of people being deceived about the benefits of immigration. Trust me, they literally don't want you - nobody, British or Americans, left/liberal or right/conservative. In their eyes, the net immigration statistics are out of control and they have royally fucked themselves. They would view taking another loudmouth social media activist as more fucking of themselves. A portion of their political class (and their population) literally believe that taking in people like the OP is making their borders less secure. Trust me, I have had four years to observe this phenomenon. Do with what I have said as you will. Downvoters, bring your web bots to do their worst; mods who prefer mealy-mouthed euphemisms over harsh expressions of reality, block this post from publication and live in your contrived bliss, but that doesn't take away from the facts.

1. The point that "they have no business" asking for your social media IDs is very interesting, especially if you are a law student. How do you know what powers INS/CBP have or don't have? Also, are you assuming first amendment rights apply to you? Remembering that you do not hold a U.S. passport?

2. Remember what somebody else has pointed out, those are Americans, you are a foreigner. You are asking to go to their country.

3. Please do not leave that box blank. Overall, better to disclose. The last thing you want them saying is that they rejected your application because you withheld relevant information.

You are the one begging them to let you in. Not the other way round. Quietly delete all your social media accounts and start putting up pro US government posts that are supportive of every viewpoint - Republican, Democrat, Libertarian etc. Start talking with a big of a twang and a drawl so your interview is as smooth as possible. There are many other things you can do to maximise your chances of success. Best of luck.

Us issued a mandatory social media history of past five years to get US Visa. And what do you mean by you've said the same thing said by students at Harvard and Columbia. Those students are natives of Usa meanwhile you aren't. You can say Bye Bye to that Visa, since usa is quite strict in that sense.

that's the hypocrisy right, criticized USA but for pursuing education go to USA.

Criticize the government of the day, but be the first in taking all relaxation and benefits offered by government of the state.

Anyways, they might check it out so its better to delete it, they carry out proper background check before giving visas.

I'm a first generation female lawyer and i have been in practise for the past two years and recently I joined another chamber to learn criminal work. My senior is a good lawyer and has a great practise. He practises here at Indore. My previous senior recommended me to him. For the first few days, my senior treated me well, but after that he stopped even acknowledging me. He barely gave me any files, all i get is somewhat drafting work. He has a son who's also in practise and he gets to do all the work. At first, I thought it might be temporary and he would eventually acknowledge me and assign me a file, but it has been quite some time and he still hasn't given me any files. Also, to make things worse, his son is very arrogant and doesn't even talk to me nicely. He shouts at me at the smallest instance or mistake. I feel so anxious around him. Moreover, my senior doesn't even notice me in court and would just ignore me and would talk to other people. I'm feeling so neglected at this chamber,my previous senior was great and he treated me well. Here I'm neither getting paid nor I'm getting any work. Should I quit? I don't know what to do.

Hi there - where working in law is all about understanding law as it is in force today, working in policy is all about the evolution of law tomorrow. People who work in public policy guide their clients on changes they expect in law in the short, medium and long terms, thereby helping future-proof client businesses. It's all about understanding historical context and regulatory intent (why do some sectors see heavier regulation than others), connecting the dots between local, national and international politics with the impact on specific issues (does war in one part of the world impact manufacturing policy in other parts of the world and how will that impact client businesses), helping clients participate in regulation-making and put across their perspectives in regulatory debates (consultations on upcoming laws, seeding approaches to light/ heavy regulation with government agencies), opportunity spotting for partnerships between the government and clients on shared policy goals (consumer education around digital payments frauds), to name a few.

The work itself can be different from the practice of law in terms of structure and creativity. It also differs immensely based on the nature of organisation one works at - a law firm versus a think tank versus in-house. Broadly all of them cover the above stated areas, but the time each kind of organisation spends on them differs.

Hope this helps!

I recently finished my 5-year law degree from an average college affiliated with Mumbai University (no placement support). My interest is in General Corporate and M&A, and I interned in corp. and commercial teams at ELP, LKS, and a few other places during college, but I couldn't get a PPO. After graduating, I applied to several Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms for assessment and traineeships but didn’t get through.

Now, I’ve started as a trainee at a boutique law firm in their corporate advisory team (earning 18k/month which could hardly cover my expenses as I am not from around here), but I want to move to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 law firm. What can be my roadmap?

I’m ready to work hard, I know it sounds cliche, but I really mean it.

Hi, i have an upcoming internship with Trilegal, Delhi in Feb (Competition team) and want to know whether there are any chances I can convert a hybrid internship into a call back. I have the option to be in office at all times but due to attendance constraints, I can do only two weeks offline internship. Please help. Thanks.

Who on earth said 14 cr for rest, the math here was meant to say 14 crore for all expenses plus maybe 1 crore as an emergency buffer. Aka 15 crore total even if you take an extremely safe approach of buying houses rather than the most efficient plan of investing in the equities market.

Hi,

I am an A0 recently started at a T1. I feel depressed and tensed and this is affecting my work.

I wanna take a break for a month or two and then start somewhere else fresh.

Should I do this? Or would a break look very very bad on my CV and future career prospects?

Genuine advice, leave your home and go to Delhi. Try to find a job while you are there. If you can survive in Delhi for internships, don't lose time and start. Visit lower courts, heights courts, keep sitting there entire day and try to figure out who is hiring. I did the same many, many years ago and now I am doing well. I also felt bad (not suicidal) but there is so much to life, please don't have a myopic view.

The above news is a few months old, but I just realised now that DYC retires before the NUJS VC retires. Did anyone else spot this??? So is this a coincidence, or is the WB govt planning that the appointment of the new VC does NOT take place during DYC's tenure, given that:

- DYC could seek a merit-based nomination and remove the 10 year professorship requirement

- DYC could nominate a top-tier SC counsel to the search committee, or an academic he is friendly with, such as Sudhir Krishnaswamy. This could complicate matters because they could pitch for Gen X candidates in their 40s who are NLU alumni, have foreign degrees etc, as opposed to mediocre people from TLCs in their 60s.

In contrast, maybe Gawai will take a more hands-off approach and defer to the WB govt? Or am I reading too much into this and seeing conspiracies where none exists?

The other things to take note of are:

- The role of Dipankar Datta. He is currently the only Cal HC judge in the SC, because the Modi govt is delaying the appointment of a second judge. What role will he play? Will Gawai leave the task to him?

- The role of the Cal HC CJI. If he is nominated to the SC, will the govt step in when a powerless acting CJ is appointed? This is exactly what happened the last time.

- The role of Kishore Datta (and, by extension, his former senior and mentor TMC MP Kalyan Bandopadhyay) and Sanjay Basu of Aquilaw. Will one of them, or both, be on the selection committee? Datta was there the last time and took charge of the whole process. He had also appointed a TMC spokesman to the panel (a non-lawyer), who was removed after the SJA objected (Kian had covered this).

- The SJA had written petitions the last time. Will they do so again? One difference between then and now is that the TMC govt is a bit jittery after the RG Kar protests.

Interesting times ahead!
