nope, the real deep state in India is the LBZ people, govts change but the people in power do not change, half pant walas may believe in a cause but deep state always looks after its own interest, in the last ten years or so many people in the LBZ have turned to/into half pant walas but they still are only fighting for themsleves. Just like the orange guy who wanted to drain the swamp our man on the white horse had declared that LBZ out, but nothing has changed.

Team Sanjeev has the single AOR Sanya Sud who pretty much does all SC filings including those of MMS when he was in saraf. Work wise, he should be able to absorb everything for the firm.

It's also firm wide knowledge that Sanjeev did work from other partners and MS's clients.MS generally had clients of his own, which I am sure he will take with him

The discretionary bonus things is a sham. That was used as a tool to promote favouritism. Only the people who sucked up to the partners/seniors got the extra money. And guess what the funny thing is - the people who got the extra bonus still left the firm and now the partners were left with the people who they underpaid and they are on their way to quit soon (or already have). Karma hit them really hard.

Dont worry all the people in this world is faced with challenges and tested by nature . Have family support with you , keep your stress low by daily run exercise for 20 minutes .. think logically and with common sense and ask yourself why u didn't get the job or call for interview . U might know the answer.. don't panic .. u can do good only when u don't panic even if outside troubles are collapsing move through friends for job..it's a test by nature nature will give u solution in various forms until you pass the test by choosing the options .

He is right. The Indian middle class needs more money at its disposal, unlike the middle class in the UK or Australia or Canada, because:

- You need to pay for expensive private healthcare. No sane person would go to a government hospital for treatment!

- You need your own car in India and to burn expensive petrol everyday. Or Uber. Because you can't use public transport in India.

- You need to send your children to expensive private schools in India, because government schools are crap. After that, only 1% of government universities are any good. But getting admission is very tough and on top of that there are caste, EWS and domicile quotas. So then you have to look at places like Ashoka, ISB, Manipal and JGLS, which cost money.

- Then look at luxuries: it's very expensive to eat at nice restaurants and stay at good hotels, because of high GST.

- Finally, Mumbai house prices are like Manhattan house prices.

So yes, 50 lakhs pa and 30 crore FIRE target in Mumbai seems right.

I graduated from CLC, Delhi University a few months ago and have been struggling to find a job since then. I've applied to over 500 places, mostly law firms, but haven’t had any luck. I was hoping to get into IPR or General Corporate. I’ve tried everything—emailing firms, applying through websites, following up, messaging people on LinkedIn, and even contacting HR directly. Nothing worked.

However recently, I got an offer for a data annotation job with a ₹4 LPA salary on Naukri, but I let it pass because it was unrelated to law, and I worried it might be undermining my education so far. Plus the salary was on the lower side. That said, I’ve started wondering if I made the right call. What if I never find a legal job? It’s already the 3rd month since graduation, and I haven’t even gotten a single interview yet.

A distant relative suggested I work under an advocate for a few years and then move to an in-house role later, saying it might be easier to start with litigation. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Would working with an advocate really help me get into an in-house position eventually? And if so, what kind of advocate should I be looking for?

I’ve also started contemplating about giving up on law and switching to another field altogether. But if not law, then what? I don't have any particular aptitude/interest elsewhere.. plus I'm already 25. My folks are also not too supportive.

Any advice or suggestions on this?

Are you really saying no one would ever defend sudhir if they werent in his employ? youre honestly making a fool out of yourself. There is no further proof anyone needs to provide of your complete lack of objectivity than the fact that you assume that every opposing view point is because of corrupt monetary motives.

Prof Sarasu's appointment is a normal part of career progression for any senior professor. The NLS website itself carries a press release with details of several NLS faculty who have gone on to become VCs / Dean / Director elsewhere. https://www.nls.ac.in/news-events/nls-faculty-dr-sarasu-thomas-appointed-new-director-of-manipal-law-school/

I've messed up greatly and made studying my last priority which has led me to this situation. Now, I'll have to get 9/10 GPA for the next 4 semesters or next 2 years, only then will I barely make it to the top fourth, and getting 9 is something only those who drown themselves in books and studying get.

I'm ashamed and angry at myself, that it was so easy, and I could've gotten good grades each sem yet I chose not. It's such that, the students around my batch rank can't even frame sentences properly(and other reasons by which they have this rank) and I feel like I could've easily done better but now I'm here.

I've started taking studies seriously this semester, and I'll really appreciate any advice, especially these questions:

1. Can a student in the bottom fourth of the batch get a placement in tier 1 firm? Or, if they reach the top fourth or the top half, is it only possible then? On which basis should are placements done?

2. Studying tips to get the highest grade. How many hours do I need to study? How should I study? I've started properly reading textbooks like pollock and mulla etc but what else can be done?

3. How much is moot court valued? Even though my grades are low, I've done about 4 to 5 moot court competitions, because I liked doing them more as to me, they involved more critical thinking and I like the fact you draft everything by yourself and there's no one to help you, whereas in studying for grades you're mugging topics up to write in the exams.

Thank you.

The first semester is almost coming to an end, but MNLU Mumbai is still doling out vacancy seats. This shows state NLUs' desperation for the revenue generated from student fees merely to stay afloat. Just a few months back it came to light that MNLU Nagpur was not able to full salaries to its faculty. These are not one-off incidents - that too in a state like Maharashtra. Where is this going?

Precarious financials at all NLUs.

The thing is, even at the humongous fees they charge MR and AMS are chock full of engagements. Just look at their daily list. My estimate is that they make up to 2 Cr per working day of court. Even if averages out to 1.5 Cr., I am taking it as 30 crores a month taking only 20 working days. Then you take away the summer vacation, winter vacation, holi, diwali, dussehra breaks, it works out to around 270 crores. There will be High Courts to go to in the vacations etc. but I'm taking that as part of average.

Okay, but does that work? does the system of only requiring disclosure at enrollment actually work to help prevent people who have committed offences involving moral turptitude from becoming and representing themselves and others as lawyers?

What is jurisdiction? Jurisdiction is about whether they can- not about whether they should. They absolutely can, regulating legal education is perfectly within the BCI's mandate. Youre saying they shouldnt- thats about policy.

salary is peanuts from what I have heard. Whoever works there either has contacts in the profession or comes from affluent families. All his associates drive their cars to the workplace despite being paid something like 15-20k at the most. The work hours are also hectic, 6 days a week, court hours and then work at chambers till 1 AM almost daily. Saturday first half is off. Since Mr. Mohan primarily practices in district courts, there are no vacations either. But yeah, if you are really inclined towards criminal law and do not need to worry too much about money, it might be a good enough start, though surely not a great one.
