Is this how you argue? Cleary you need to learn more.

Your point; not many are NUS grads (factually wrong; check their website. Many of the faculty graduated NUS law).

They are not leading academics (factually wrong, many of them in the above category itself, are leading their field in criminal law, arbitration, law and society. If you were old enough to remember Stanley Yeo's visit to NUJS and NLS, you'll clearly not be even making such a silly, patently obvious, argument).

They don't go on to lead companies (factally wrong: check their placement stats, most of their grads are in the top law firms in the US and UK, in addition to Singapore itself of course).

So your first point on the data not supporting it is baseless and made out of some weird fetish, perhaps inferiority-impelled, to be salty for no reason and without any research. Stop being a troll.

Hello everyone. This is me two years later. After I made up my mind to pursue international tax and TP, I interned at some accounting firms. Needless to say, the compliance bored me to death.

I've graduated and now work at a pretty good law firm.

Accounting firms are really not worth it

Sorry in advance for this repetitive post.

Just joined a t3 nlu. I'm pretty sure that i have adhd and anxiety but yet to get it officially diagnosed. I'm really struggling here and overwhelmed. I don't even know whether I wanna do law tbh. I don't even know how to describe this feeling. Everyone else is getting through and doing their work properly but I'm just sitting there anxious filled with self doubt. I don't know if this is what I wanna do or this is where I wanna work. I don't know if I like litigation or corporate law or anything. I also don't know if I will be able to put in the effort required and be able to cope up with the long and stressful work hours. I feel stuck and I don't think I can really quit because I've got pretty much no alternatives. Few people I asked said that 1st sem is like that and I'll get to know if I like it or not from 2nd year onwards. I know this is probably late to ask, but please advise on what I should do to get through. If you guys can also give some info about how the jobs are and such after nlus it would help. Everyone here is also saying that publications and mooting and other such stuff is pretty essential and i dont know how i feel about that. Please help guys i just dont know what to do I feel just despair. Homesickness hits hard too. I also saw the exam papers and those look so hard too idk what im going to do.
thanks for patiently reading.

Hey, your likelihood of conversion is very high as they are very selective with giving assessments/callbacks. Coming to pay, I had some conversations with associates (A1/A2s), all of them told me that the bonus mentioned is inflated and the fixed varies according to teams and your performance. Top performers said their pay scale was at a 15-20% discount vis a vis Khaitan and Trilegal but this conversation was when tier 1 firms had old bands, now all tier 1s have revised their bands now so idk.

The recent happenings at nluo has been nothing less than absolute chaos and a show of arrogance from both sides- the admin and the students. For context, few days ago a few 5th year students, in intoxicated state, called the 1st year juniors at the terrace of boys hostel. The hostel warden got notified of it and went to the terrace to make juniors go back to their rooms. Now, I don't know who is right or wrong but the student body is saying that those 5th yearites weren't ragging the juniors while the admin is prosecuting them for the offense of ragging. The events following that has been terrible. Lots of long protests are being conducted by the student body, a full fledged anti ragging inquiry committee has been setup by the admin, police came at midnight in college and those 5th year students, around 15 in number, were told to evacuate the hostel and then a few who didn't collaborate got rusticated from college too.

Both sides are looking for brownie points against each other for their own agendas and in all these troubles, the ones who are at the receiving end of it are our juniors, the 1st year students. They at one side have fear of being boycotted by seniors and everyone if they say anything to the enquiry committee and on the other side, they have fear from authority/admin if they don't speak in the enquiry properly. This college has become a mess.

And what are the odds of that happening? Worth the risk in my opinion. Better than losing out by just sitting and waiting for firms to hand you internships. You could always remove the fake internships later when you leverage them to get the real ones. Why do I recommend this.. cause I was ethical during my college days and where it got me is post-graduation joblessness. Learn from my mistake and take the risk. At worst you'll be blacklisted. Much better than being not listed at all.

Some do, some don't. You might get away with it. You might not. Even if you get away with it now, do you want to be looking over your shoulder for the next decade hoping someone doesn't notice? They're probably not going to be asking for internship certificates in 10 years, but all it takes is one casual conversation and somebody to say "Oh, didn't so and so intern at X firm a few years ago? You must know Mr Y" and you will HAVE to lie and say "Oh yes of course I know Mr Y", and then if they mention - "So and so said he worked with you and Mr Y will say, "who?"" and the whole thing can unravel.

It may not - you might take the secret to your grave - but there are stories of people being caught out by stuff like this 10-20 years into their career - forget the ethics, it's simply stupid - it's risking Rs 10,000 to try and gain Rs 100.

If you sit in interview they will ask questions from that. They will ask who your partner was etc. if the work you mention in your CV dies not match with the work profile of the partner or the team, and if the interviewer knew the Partner, then you are screwed. Some firms might ask you to submit certificates as well.

Does law firms check whether the person has actually interned at the place written in CV?

Till now, I haven't seen single firm checking the same.

If I just write in my cv that I've done this internship, how do they verify? If they get to know, what action will they take.

Just take a screenshot on your laptop, take out prints if you want to keep it hand since opening too many jpgs may be tedious. A better way rather, keep preparing detailed notes of your work products during the course of internship itself for future reference during interviews, etc.

Not at par but it is close to a lakh, However the issue is most freshers are forced to work as paralegal's in their final year for 6 months if you are from Chennai or else post graduation before getting confirmed.

Someone Ik was a paralegal, then a trainee for a year and then become an associate.

Someone please start a WhatsApp group for students or lawyers who are new to Mumbai and are looking for PGs or Flats in Mumbai. It is very difficult to find a decent PG/flats especially in areas like fort, churchgate and Nariman Point where most of the law firms are situated in. It would also be convenient for us to find flatmates through this group.

Why is this marked contested? It's true. Many students here have become egoistic and think they are the ones running and heading the college and have this mentality that admin has no power over them and thus they abuse the system and not only that, they also then use our juniors to protests against the administration on being prosecuted for their terrible actions

This video will give you an idea of the mood in Bengal right now (and probably the rest of the country too). A man in a bus was defending the WB govt saying that they investigated in time, condemned the incident etc --- similar to the arguments they were making in court. A group of ladies on the bus got so angry that they caught him by the collar, heckled him up and threw him out of the bus.

Sibal and Menaka are entitled to represent the TMC govt and defend their actions. But this is obviously not likely to win them public adulation.

Self-proclaimed liberals from South Mumbai and Delhi, whitewashing the TMC govt on social media, are actually doing great harm to the liberal cause. Can you people even spot West Bengal on a map??? In the entire state ALL liberal people are against the TMC and protesting on the streets. They don't need you to speak for them and air your dumb opinions online in the name of secularism and liberalism. Yes, the BJP is also opposing Mamata, but so what? The BJP also opposes ISIS. Does that mean you will support ISIS???

Thank you for raising this point, which is very pertinent. Singhvi has always been the first choice counsel for WB, but that was also because the TMC had backed his nomination for a Rajya Sabha seat from WB. Now Singhvi is going to enter the RS from Telangana, with full Congress backing. I don't think he is obliged to defend WB and whitewash the TMC's misdeeds any more. Yes, he charged WB handsomely and will lose a lucrative client, but then he is so much in demand that he will easily get other clients to fill that hole. Not a huge loss for him. Also, representing WB in this case is risking damage to your goodwill among the public . In the eyes of the public, it's the same as representing the rapist, because of the perceived cover up and risk of a big scam emanating. I don't think Sibal cares about being popular among the public and Gen Z kids, but Singhvi perhaps does. Another KEY POINT to note is that Sibal has officially left the Congress, whereas Singhvi is still with them. I don't think Rahul Gandhi would be very pleased if a Congress lawyer represented WB and defended the regime. It would give the BJP yet another ground to attack the Congress. Adhir Chowdhury, who had got WB Congress workers to heckle Singhvi, would have gone ballistic.

Coming to Gopal, he may have also opted out because of the risk of losing goodwill, but the fiasco over Mahua and the dog may have also have made him wary of representing the state. Imagine the amount of trolling the poor guy would have had to face if he appeared in this case?

As for Menaka, I think her reputation among the public has suffered irreparably because, unlike Sibal, she had a halo around her as a human rights defender. That's all gone now. Was she that desperate for clients that she had to accept this case? Look at Karuna Nundy is contrast. She too is a TIME 100 awardee, a Senior Advocate and human rights activist. She is representing the doctors.

These are students from law colleges affiliated with CU, rather than NUJS. These colleges may not be prestigious, and their students may not be from well-off families and heading towards glamorous careers in CAM and AZB. But they have shown great courage and integrity by speaking out.

Hi, how are the corporate M&A/PE teams structured at the KCo Mumbai office? Out of the 7 (seven) existing corporate teams, which one is the best to work with regarding work environment, opportunities, and growth?

How is Aakash Chaubey’s team? I've heard him speak about mental health several times, and he keeps advocating for it. How is he as a boss? Also, which other corporate M&A teams are considered better at KCo?

That's not true lol. The PPOs are difficult. Of every 10-12 people 1 or 2 get shortlisted for an interview. The same for lateral is even more difficult. Try asking to some seniors who have been in the industry for long and not just try and crib here. For a matter of fact not everyone from even GNLU who interned at Mumbai got their offers. Less than half of them did. Mumbai office is also most sought after amongst most tier 1s not now but from before because the life is bearable compared to most other T1s. After the hike it's even more lucrative.

Try a PG, look in and around grant road for an easy commute and cheap cost of everything right from rent to food. Your goldmine would be to try contacting people subletting apartments in December and Jan as people have holidays from college you could likely find a bargain price discounted by 20-25% there.

Good luck and enjoy the city of dream's.

Hi Everyone, I am final year law student studying at SLS N. I have bagged 3 T1 internships out of nowhere and all of them are scheduled in upcoming months. I have a decent overall CV, I just wanted to know from the seniors or from the people who have been in same boat - is it logical to intern in T1s in final year or should I start doing long term internships at boutique firms? Is it possible to get job in T1 in final year as I have heard that they mostly give PPOs to 4th year students and to kids at NLU on DAY 0.

One more doubt, does these big names make it easy anyhow to get a job at T2-T3 in future? Thanks.

Mahua and Saket symbolise everything wrong with Gen Z icons and Indian politics. It send a message that you have to be a shrill, abusive troll with high Twitter engagement and you will get rewarded.

In contrast, look at Bikash Bhattacharya of the Left. A proper gentleman who never abuses and is practically invisible on social media. He could have used his status as a Senior Advocate and Rajya Sabha MP to set up base in Delhi and mint crores, but he chose not to do so. Sadly, Gen Z ignores such people.

I am half convinced that India Code is deliberately not maintained properly due to pressure from publishers of physical bare acts. After all, it is entities like Universal and Commercial which have the most to gain from having a central database of statutes and rules which is known to be highly unreliable and often wrong.

Let's not pull at the thread that is our government.

One of the first things I learned as a qualified lawyer is that it is we who are responsible for putting together the laws on which we advise our clients. The internet is your best friend so putting together all amendments, circulars, and notifications would be the first step of your research, following which you actually read the law and give advice.

The state, unfortunately, has a monopoly on lawmaking and it does not have any incentive to compile every law in a systematic manner unless it erodes faith and trust in a major manner in our government. It is the same reason why the SEBI website is all decked up with regulations amended on a weekly to monthly basis and you can't find a single consolidated set of rules issued by a state under the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 (based on actual experience).
