Yes brother you study in the best place ever. Is it NLUD or some HARVARD? Read the email sent by Cultural Committee particularly the second line accepting lack of personal interaction within the university campus. I really dislike sharing this place with students like you just glorifying the University because we were able to excel this MCQ examination. Start looking at broader picture and bigger life.

All these activities of painting and games night, where was this? Took so much of time to understand what the hollow place lacks? VC seems to be the most stupid of all. Some Profs are really making efforts.

Said everything rubbish by just marking few MCQs. I did the same as you. Do you go to sleep with Introspection or just NLUD is best everyday and every time. Start looking beyond this University and you'll understand why I dislike your Chauvinism. How often do you see Profs and Students together? Don't say - since past 2 days or something. This painting and games should regularly be hosted rather than students just attending classes and libraries working like machines to give research output to put this University in 2nd Position. Why don't you talk of this pathetic 33-34 placements we have got. Don't say Admin cares towards this. If it does why did meeting dated 23/09 even talk of this.

Please grow up and start accepting criticism, Don't become puppet of Admin.

Jaipur.......has a decent balance of everything.

1. Nice people

2. Slow paced city - after a fucked up life in a fast paced law firm environment- this city will feel refreshing. Not much traffic as well.

3. Decent night life - it is slowly developing.

4. Cheap - including real estate, you can buy a house at a reasonable price

5. Historical city....great architecture

6. Decent weather - hot and cold - you can experience both extremes

7. Great food.

8. Connected to a lot for places you can visit. Rajasthan has enough places you can go for a short trip. Nearby states also provide a good option - MP, Gujarat, Himachal, uttarakhand, etc.

9. Infra is not that great but it is getting better.

There may be some cons as well but I'm sure pros will outweigh the cons.

Heard that Indore tried to improve its night culture by operating malls/workspaces at night as well. But the law and order could not be maintained and MP Govt withdrew from the night economy thing. Proves that MP and Indore are at standstill. Apart from this, there is literally zero planning that goes on when it comes to urban development in Indore and zero traffic sense is another dark point. Food mai bhi, it's just hyperbole. Overall, Indore is just like any other Tier-II city.

Hi

I am extremely sorry to hear about your experience .! incase you have the option of dropping in a resignation please do so

If the document is non enforceable you can quit the law firm asap

But incase you are a independent woman you can find alternatives in legal field incase you have good academics you can teach class XI AND XII kids it won’t pay you much but can help you manage daily finances

Stay strong keep going and prayers for you and I hope you work with good souls who teach you and your mental health remains sane

Bro, I'm no Abhinav chandrachud or Singhvi's son. I'm far from privileged. I know sons and daughters of senior advocates who joined the profession and were so pathetic that they either quit or just assist their hotshot fathers and don't have any standing of their own. I have to struggle for briefs, although i would agree sometimes my mom and her colleagues refer me one or two cases for SC and tribunals since my mom practises at a HC but i don't make a lot from those briefs. I'm struggling as much as a first gen lawyer. Moreover, I am an outsider here at Delhi and i regularly see how native lawyers who are jaat/gujjars/punbajis get orders from judges because the bench here comprises their own kind only. I dont have the privilege of getting orders because of caste/ethnicity. You just dont understand my struggles.

I wont get into courts vs corp but I need to say this, regardless of your parent's post, being a second generation lawyer helps and I don't mean to disregard your struggles or challenges you have faced by you don't sound like person who could call yourself a 'first generation lawyer' after saying things like 'my mom did law' and 'she gave me a few cases'

1. Very little of what is posted on here could ever honestly be described as "Interesting comments that cast new light on a problem or situation and that might make lawyers think". And for every one piece of helpful advice, there are three unsubstantiated opinions which are unhelpful to all - in other words, bad advice (especially regarding application, recruitment or entry procedures for things overseas). True, sometimes they are marked "contested" or other measures are taken, but often not.

2. If anything, comments on voting patterns tend to speak those truths that other people may find (ideologically) inconvenient or offensive, even if they are repeated. Please think carefully about whether you want Legally India to be a forum which has a reputation of populist pandering. Or does Legally India have an ideology too?

3. You know as well as everyone who uses this platform with any regularity that comments that violate one or other of the stipulations in the "Don't publish" section are regularly published (it is true that some are later retracted or redacted, but there are those that aren't).

If you wish for continued traction, I think you just have to admit that your operating model has resulted in this becoming a forum where certain people say things (or say things in a particular way) that they wouldn't if the anonymity measures weren't as strong as they are, and that certain childish fights are played out on here. In fact, why not? That, for all you know, is a niche need that hasn't been served by other equivalent forums. This anyway de facto became a forum for that once you stopped publishing news stories. So why not make it official? Of course, you should maintain the guidelines about not defaming people, not commenting about protected characteristics and the like, but I think a certain level of ad hominem is just unavoidable.

Please don't post about up or downvotes, lack thereof, etc, it's boring and not interesting and therefore should be moderated as trollish and not published (check the community guidelines: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/387617-legally-india-community-moderation-guidelines )

This was being feared for several months, now it’s happened. Does WW3 break out now?

India, meanwhile, is royally f-ed because we are totally reliant on foreign oil. And so are all of us. Nirmala screwed us with more income tax, now prices will rise and our equity investments will tank once the stock markets crash. 😔

According to the NYT, the 90s, were the best decade.

Ironically, it was also a decade when papers like NYT and WaPo produced good journalism and not biased propaganda.

As a side note, as for the Calcutta High Court, I got to know that the Juniors over there would charge about Rs. 500 today per appearance, and when a few of them would ask for Rs. 850 (50 GMs - In Calcutta, fees are charged by Gold Mohurs where 1GM=17Rs)), the AOR would say "your senior would charge 10GMs (Rs. 170). So, the Junior Counsels, of say 1-2 years into practice, would earn about Rs. 500 per appearance, and say nothing (depending on their Senior) from their Chamber Senior. For someone with 3-4 or maybe 5 years of practice, I've heard they charge Rs. 2000-5000 per appearance. As for the AOR mentioning that the Seniors would charge Rs. 170 (10GMs) - that would be true, but 20 years ago when the Seniors were raw junior, which, accounting for inflation, would be Rs. 350-450ish today (I'd still argue that Rs. 170 then is worth more than Rs. 500 is today). I've also heard that since the Solicitors would primarily dominate the Original Side of the Cal HC, the Counsels would be dependent on them for briefs, and most of the Solicitors would not pay such Counsels. I am not sure if this is true or not, but I hope somebody sheds some light on this. [Mind you, this is mostly for the Original Side, not the Appellate - I have very little idea on how that would work, since I am assuming that the Advocate would be briefed directly by the Client there]

Enough on Cal HC, for Bombay HC, I've noticed that they have the same system as that of the Cal HC, with the Original Side being considered more glamorous, and the Counsels dependent on Solicitors for briefs. I would really love to know how much the Junior Advocates would be paid per appearance in Bombay, and if they are paid by their Chamber Seniors as well. Ditto on Drafting and Conference Fees.

Read any book on Modern history...

And do read and understand the concept of any law, like family law which you have read in the first semester...

If you want to do better in your studies then try to read Jurisprudence book. That will help you understand the lagal things in better ways.

You can watch the Manchester debate union playlist. It’s pretty good for starters. There’s a plethora of resources out there but all of that will confuse you so this should be good.

You can also check sessions hosted by Indian debsocs. They will be easier to understand as you have familiarity with the style of speaking.

Some of those are Glc Deb lit soc YouTube channel

One of the first videos that got me interested was super shiny principled arguments by Ashish Kumar

Indian corporate management is horrible. We are legitimately renowned for promotion based on metrics such as experience rather than promoting individuals showcasing leadership traits and management skills which has created a universally toxic environment in pretty much every corporate. Foreign firms in India do it so much better, when will Indian firms follow suit....

Hi folks

I need some advice. I'm interning at a T-3 firm and today on my 1st day I was assigned nothing substantial except for bitchwork like finding guidelines on something or circulars. Now, I have done my fair share of this in my previous internships, but this was interspersed with substantial research prompt giving and legal research which was stimulating and interesting to work on. But this experience has left a bad taste. Are all law firms like this? I'm concerned that if I do nothing in this internship I will end up not getting a better internship for the next cycle. I need help, I am also thinking that maybe it is the practice area that I chosen which is at fault. Please advice on the next steps I should take.

I know my friend who practices at civil court lucknow gets paid around 15-20k, also he ensures clients pay my friend for miscellaneous work. He makes 30-35k from the chamber at a tier 2 city like lucknow.His senior is one of the biggest lawyers of civil court and makes a modest 50-60 lakh per annum. My senior who practices at lucknow bench makes similar amount but pays me nothing.
