The fight is now at the center of Mr. Musk’s bid to turn X into a safe haven for people to say nearly anything they want, even if it hurts the business in the process.
In dozens of posts since April, Mr. Musk has built up Justice Moraes as one of the world’s biggest enemies of free speech, and it appears Mr. Musk is now betting the judge will cave to the public backlash he believes the block will cause.
“He might be losing money in the short term, but he’s gaining enormous political capital,” said Luca Belli, a professor at FGV Law School in Rio de Janeiro, who has tracked Mr. Musk’s strategy with X.

Internally foreign LLM+PhD faculty here compare it to Boston University School of Law, Notre Dame Law School, Vanderbilt University Law School etc.
What do you all think?
With the draconian adminstration who is stringent on attendance policy and faculties having too much autonomy regarding marks (class participation and attendance )makes it hard for a student to avail better internship opportunities.
So when other university kids are doing 4 internships in third year/fourth year on an average the ones in NUALS are barely getting 2 internships and since those falls under peak months of December/June most of them ends up not getting any slots at good tiered law firms.
It is evident that the whole admin wants nuals to fall back into the levels of random glcs in Kerala.
I am not sure of the situation in other law schools - truly hope nobody has to go through something like this. just wish the job market would fare better and a situation like this wouldn't arise. praying that these kids don't lose hope:((
As for the poster who writes extremely well while decrying the focus on money, don’t dismiss money so easily, my friend. Earning this amount in a law firm shows the individual has many qualities that make for an excellent public servant - an incredible work ethic, attention to detail, commitment and stamina across many years (even decades), the ability to understand and address the conflicting interests of different stakeholders, raw intellect and a mastery of at least one area of law. Last but not least, financial resources that mitigate the ever present temptress of the under-paid yet powerful - corruption.
Several of these are innate qualities, difficult to acquire merely from books or experience. And they represent excellent building blocks for a distinguished judicial career.
Clearly, we would like every judge to be yet another Solomon from the very start. That is, perhaps, unrealistic. Solomons are made over the course of a life. Prior success in a career, evidenced by earnings, is a good first step. Best of luck to the new appointee for what(ever) lies ahead.
RIP 🙏

We’ll know the cause of death soon enough, but for now let us pray for the departed soul and wish her parents strength. 🙏🙏🙏 She was obviously a bright girl who worked hard on the CLAT, having made it to the merit list of a top 10 NLU.
Let’s also remember that a large number of deaths of law students have unfortunately taken place in recent years, for reasons ranging from car accidents to COVID to heart attacks to suicide. In fact, another very talented girl student (from Jindal) who was also the daughter of an IAS officer took her own life as she was suffering from exam-related depression, despite being a good student (see below).
Regardless of the cause of death, it’s a reminder to be kind to our fellow students. There is too much toxicity in NLUs.

Anyone from RML?
Daughter of senior IPS. Hope it’s not university negligence?
