Indian Economy will grow at this rate for the next 30 years. And it's not something to be proud of. Ideally we should grow in double digits like China and not 6-8% below average growth rate. Whether Rahul Gandhi or Modi rules. This growth rate will happen.

We are a developing country and need faster growth to catch up to anyone. We are as poor as Africa.

As india grows, there will be more demand for CS, CAs, Corporate Lawyers etc.

Great news! Even resembling the US of the 1970s is a great achievement for a poor country like India.

The above instances are exaggerated or extreme examples, but micromanaging is not just these extreme events but also regular or routine practices where you are not treated as an adult and every little thing is to be done to the exact specifications of a human being who is usually 2-5 years older to you.

Just saying this so the absolute psychos who micromanage don’t think they’re not micromanagers because they didn’t shout about a comma etc. You know the kind of ridiculous stuff you’ve done and said I personally wish you hell.

Hi Guys. I am a graduate of 2023 and have work experience of 3 months in a small law firm. I left the firm because the partners were biased, and I couldn't tolerate the toxicity day in and day out with a salary so meager that I felt ashamed to even look at that after it was credited. I have recently given SEBI phase 2, and hopes are less considering only 2 seats for general.

Currently, I am stuck in my career, and I stumbled across some certifications, as sitting idle is eating me up. I want to ask if the certificate courses from ▮▮▮ and ▮▮▮ help, as they are costing upwards of 10k some going beyond 100k. Do they anyhow standout in my CV considering I apply to tier 1 or 2 law firms? The certifications are of M&A and IBC.

Please help a brother out...

Left my T1 job for a boutique firm in 4 months because of micromanaging partner. Nobody will question your leaving if you can sell yourself and convince them in the interview that you are a safe bet. Skills matter, will to stay is variable dependent on how you are treated/growth/etc. Recently shifted back to a T1 and lost out on one year of PQE and honestly I don’t mind it the slightest. The things I got to learn at my small/tightly knit firm crafted me into the lawyer I am today. Just talk to yourself, figure out if you need to leave and make an informed decision. Nobody knows what you’re going through but you so weigh your options. All the best buddy!

I am a Tier-2 NLU Ist semester student with nothing to show on my CV till now, except that I am member of a committee and also IDIA. Good chances are that I won't have much to show even by the first semester break.

I wish to enquire that how can I start improving my research skills. Seniors are either busy in their own work or just don't want to help much.

A senior told me that I can do my first internship in a T-3/4/5 law firm that will give me work or in High Court at a senior that will give me work.

Will the seniors at legallyindia, please guide how valid is the advice of my seniors (as till now, everyone told me to do my first internship at district court)?

Also, if the advice they gave me is correct, how can I follow it?

Do I need connections? (I am a first generation lawyer with no connections in the law fraternity)

Their HR team is by far the worst. They never reply to emails and don't answer calls. When they do eventually pick up, they ask you to send another email. After many follow-ups, they email back, saying they will get back to you soon.

And then, you never hear from them again.

For context, this happened after they had already confirmed my internship, and I was only trying to confirm the dates and address. I anyway showed up on the first day of the month of my internship at the location I found on Google and no one questioned me why I was there so it ended fine, I ruefully guess.

Thinking of applying to these two (delhi) for my mandatory internship. any idea of their workload? don't wanna do too much since I also have to prep for an intl moot side by side, would rather take it easy + focus on the moot than get fucked in terms of work.

also note, applying to vidhi corp team.

tia :)

You can certainly start thinking from the very outset and there is nothing wrong about it. It is never too late or early to think about your career aspirations. Your disability might or might not affect your prospects. However, rest assured, be positive, aim high, and you will be able to navigate and locate yourself per your destiny. Coming over to the precedents. As posted in the trailing thread, there have been instances wherein persons with disability have been able to secure job at the law firms you are targeting. A person with achondroplasia and locomotor disability from NALSAR'24 got recruited through PPO at CAM. Likewise, a person with visual impairment from the same batch got recruited at Poovayya & Co. You can try reaching out to them for further assistance. I am not sure whether the former has a linkedin or not, but the latter does have. Or otherwise, just reach out to someone from this batch, and they will be able to guide you as to how you can reach out to them. Just focus on yourself, and don't let your disability define your worthiness. Cheers.

I need guidance and help; I am a Nmims student failed in one subject in 6th semester, because of which I have an year back due to some health conditions. Now every situation is haunting me-

1. Will I get a job in T1 or T2(I don't have any back support and 1st gen)

2. Will I get any internship or job in any specific field other than dispute( I have intrest and worked in B&D, regulatory, caps mark)

3. Will I be eligible to give judiciary.

Till now I have presentable with sound internship and publication

Personal choice more often than not. Some people prefer the sarkaari lines (UPSC or state judiciary options), while others prefer to study further (foreign LLMs or more recently MBAs). Some tread the line between these two by getting a judicial clerkship the SCI or Delhi HC. They plan to convert it into the LLM a year or two down the line. Then there are some who come from families with background in law. They join their parent’s offices.

I should think these varied options can account for most of the 34.

I would not advice you to do side gigs. You should be completely focused on your internship. You may explore the possibility of staying in a hostel. That will be cheaper. Back in our time, on recommendations, IIT - Delhi allowed people to use their hostel premises for an internship. You may obtain such a recommendation from your college and contact IIT - Delhi or any other public institution in Gurgaon or nearby. That can curb the burden.

What about someone who does 3 year llb after studying humanities (including legal studies in 11th and 12th) and then pursued majored in political science and minored in economics? I did so simply because committing 5 years of my life to law was something I wasn't sure at 17. I did not want to get burnt out during the 4th year. Now as a 20 year old graduate I've never been more sure about my career including specialization because I have a bird's-eye view of the law curriculum since class 12th

Exactly. Also, they should first change their names to SLU : State Law Universities. Neither are they central nor of eminence. The actual national universities are DU, JNU, AMU, JMI and BHU. The actual eminence institutions are Jindal. NLUs are just money grabbers. Higher studies are not worth it there.

It's not a normal entrance exam paper. It's UP, Delhi, UK, HP, MP JUDICIARY papers. Pre & Mains. Objective & subjective papers. Even to the point of sitting in interview boards. It's not your one day cramming corrupt NLU entrance exams that you crack just cause you studied in an English medium school. Moreover, cite any legal research coming out of any law school in India, and you won't find even one that's worth their salt in the international market.

Cite any research from NLUs including the ones from the Messiah himself, that are worth it ? Can you ? Also, the fact that NLUs have no role in judiciary exams shows how relevant they are. A judiciary or psc paper being set & checked by these institutions shows that they're reliable enough.
