The infrastructure needed has to be of a very high standard and we don’t have it. Ahmedabad, or even Delhi and Mumbai, are probably 100 years behind Paris. Just see this video of how Paris looked in 1920, over 100 years ago. It’s now 2024 and even now our cities don’t look so good. The other problem is of hygiene and sanitation. Foreign visitors will expect clean and orderly cities, which we don’t have.

Then there is the issue of costs. Can we host such expensive events when our per capita income is so low and poverty is so widespread, thanks to illiteracy and overpopulation? You also of course have the problem of corruption as well. If 1,000 crores is allocated more than half will go into the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats.

Finally, the opening ceremony needs imaginative ideas like the balloon lighting, horse floating etc. we don’t have such creativity. We can only manage cringe Bollywood stuff.

So I feel Modi is making a big mistake in trying to bid for the Olympics!

I am from Symbi 3-year, and trust me when I say that Symbi is the least discriminatory of all the colleges that offer 3-year LLB. Things are not as good as 5-year, with regards to placements, yet a good number of 3-year students do get placed with T2-3 firms and in house. Speaking with personal experience, the Symbi tag is good enough to at least get a rejection mail from T1 and T2 firms, and with good CV or contacts, you will get T1-T2 internships.

Can anyone share the roster for the three day Day Zero at NLS? Been hearing a lot about the placements and the total number of firms coming to college to recruit. Can anyone share the details if possible? Day One data has already been leaked with Keystone, LKS etc but what about other days?

lol - get your insecurities in check dude. Just be as confident irl as well, try and not use anonymity as a garb to hide ‘em. No one is stopping you from expressing yourself and sharing your knowledge in real world. Try it, might change your life. Seems like you are too concerned with what people will think of you if you act the way you feel like acting.

And maybe try not starting threads which are this potent of exposing someone’s identity like this. LI maybe moderate the thread and hide the college’s name.

Vac Schemes generally are bagged by students kids from very well off fams. This is not to discourage you but see yourself from students who were selected in last 10 years. Barely people from humble beginnings. Most of your expenses are covered but you will need to act, dress and eat like you are an associate. All these things will require you to shed some money. Don't hang out with teams for beer that's something you can always say no to. But it will be a little expensive but should be bearable for you. That said having money with daddy always a plus.

Good lord. The amount of self-flagellation that lawyers of today go through. Just enjoy yourself a bit man. You're working in a corporate law firm on transactions that matter f#$@all in the grand scheme of things.Not some holy moral mission for you to take a digital vanvas. Relax and have fun.

People who do 3yr LLB are grass puller ? And what are u doing then ? Starting your own firm ?

Learn to be respectful..there are lot of people who did 3yr llb and are doing great in the profession be it corporate job or practice...

People like u only know how to mock others

On the afternoon of 17 July, J. Sagar Associates (JSA) announced the biggest-ever move in the Indian antitrust circles, stunning those in the legal fraternity.

Nisha Kaur Uberoi, the national head of the competition law practice at Trilegal, one of India’s top legal firms, is set to join rival JSA as a competition chair with her team of 27 fee-earning associates, including two partners and support staff like personal assistants, officer clerks, in August.

Uberoi (45) is a consummate litigator and global deal-maker who has spearheaded complex M&A transactions amounting to over US$150 billion. Her departure from Trilegal’s market-leading competition law practice after seven years means the firm loses not only one of its top-earners but also a roster of marquee clients.

These include blue chip firms like tech giant Apple Inc. to conglomerates like Aditya Birla group, and energy-management firm Schneider Electric, among others.

Trilegal’s partner in corporate M&A, Sridhar Gorthi, who is also part of the firm’s management committee said: “We will continue to strengthen and expand this practice group as we have done with all our other areas of expertise.” He added that: “Nisha was instrumental in building our competition practice and has been part of the firm’s extraordinary growth journey.”

Uberoi is also leading the defence in India’s highest penalty case of US$1.2 billion, involving an alleged cement cartel, representing the US$60 billion Aditya Birla conglomerate. Her clients will be moving with her to JSA, she told The Ken.

“Clients are obviously free to choose their legal advisors. It would be unprofessional to discuss any of them by name,” said Gorthi.

Trilegal’s competition practice now has 18 members across levels, including two partners, added Gorthi.

It’s a superb move both for her and for S&R who has the clientele in the Infra space but need a top quality lawyer. I have known her for a long time and despite that write this unbiased. She is a reserved and intelligent lawyer who is well recognised in Infra and Hospitality. ELP is still a good firm but needs serious overhaul for the long run. It has to stop becoming a feeder firm for top tier firms by nurturing and encouraging home grown talent to lead and further the brand. Recent equity announcements helped, but were a tad bit late. They need to dramatically push this change now.

Hey, I am confused between taking admission of 3yr LLB course in NLU ODISHA. And the the other option is AMITY UNIVERSITY NOIDA. Could anyone guide me what to do.

Should I choose a private university over nlu?

Please tell me in terms of placements which is better?

Disappointing that many of us pretend to be Americans when we are nothing of the sort. At least not too many of us have been taken in by the 'Harvard of the East' type of nonsense to the extent of starting to call ourselves '1L', '2L', '3L' etc., like how kids in the U.S. law schools call themselves (as is their culture). Knowing us, if we had, we'd have come up with some sort of aberration like '5L' or something. :)
