Rainmaker behind this.
Another game started to play with new entrants in the advocacy field.
Thanks.
Good to see you people taking an interest. But I would like to add two things:
1. Neither Legally India, iPleaders or BarHacker are in any way affiliated or connected to the BCI or Rainmaker. And unfortunately I highly doubt we will get a leaked question paper.
2. iPleaders and BarHacker is run by two bright, hard-working and enterprising NUJS students.
They had a great product and we decided Legally India would be a good place to spread awareness about it to some people for whom it may be useful.
We will tell you a bit more background about BarHacker and the philosophy soon.
In the meantime, feel free to give the mock exam a spin, it's quite fun and we are adding more content rapidly.
Best wishes,
Kian
AIBE papers are being tested by them as told by BCI Chairman.Only they will decide the future the others.
But I must admit some of them are really very bright indeed but sorry to say "all are not".
Kian u must br ashamed to put this on ur site.Few days bk you were in Kol NUJS for some program...and perhaps they approached u there...Does being NUJS students certify their merit or its u who has the authority to certify their merit.. I think u sh remove this so as to maintain the standard of this site...
I have known the NUJS students for a long time but when in Kolkata I happened to chance across the material they had prepared, which I thought was an excellent idea and would be helpful to graduates who did not have time to study yet or were worried about passing the exam.
Legally India helped to build the product and was closely involved in launching the site and I think it is a great initiative and a wonderful product we are offering.
It may not be useful to everyone but why don't you try the free mock test and see if it works for you? And download one of the indexes for free - they really will come in very handy for the exam. And for the full course there is also a money back guarantee if you do not pass and we waive the course fees if grads are below the poverty line.
Look forward to hearing your feedback.
Best wishes,
Kian
now the next thing we will have is "Legallyindia institute of legal studies"... lol!
Arent LI and Rainmaker direct competitors?
I don't know whether it's necessary to go into this in detail but I think RM and LI are in quite different verticals, although inevitably sometimes overlap will occur since this is such a small market.
First off, Legally India was, is and will always be about independent and unbiased news and facts first and foremost, as best as we can manage.
Like other publications, however, Legally India too has to find a way of monetising its platform in order to enable the news portion to continue being independent and unbiased - journalism unfortunately does not pay for itself.
There are many commercial areas worth exploring in the Indian legal market and as long as they do not conflict with our first mission we will try to explore them, whether by ourselves, with partners or simply with advertisers.
In fact, I should add that Legally India and I personally have been offered a variety of commercial roles and ventures which would have conflicted with our news mission, and we have therefore turned them down.
By way of clarification, we do not offer recruitment but a jobs posting platform, like Monster or Naukri but more tailored. This has been running for close to a year now.
As for bar exam preparation we identified a clear need and demand for mock tests and instruction surrounding the bar exam. Since no one else was filling this need, what is the harm in using the Legally India platform to publicise this, help a few people and also making some money in the process?
Offering training services such as this does not pose a conflict for us since we generally do not report about training companies or other legal industry services providers (RM having been the exception since the Bar Exam became a topic of general and national importance, but even so we have never indulged in any "bashing").
I hope this explains things well and if you have any feedback about our strategy, please let me know anytime.
Best wishes,
Kian
Rainmaker has made more than enough money. Further, the rubbish study material made through their limited friend circle and board etc. is embarrassing. I sat to do the arbitration chapter from them - it was a total waste of time.
We knew that commercial interests were being served when the exam was being instituted. The RTI reply from the BCI confirmed our belief.
What is wrong if other people make money off the exam? Well the same thing as is wrong with LST minting money before the entrance exams.
The bar exam is supposed to be a test of what has been learnt in the 5 years at law school. There does not need to be another training after that. If there is - it is the BCIs fault for not ensuring quality legal education. Something it is charged to do under law.
Not this type of Bar Exam with no value.
At least, some revenue must come to LI to keep this wonderful portal going and becoming more and more strong and popular..inviting and involving even non-lawyers to the world of law.
I saw one of my IIT Bombay friend at LI and it was a pleasure.
Further, I am surprised, why Indian Legal Industry is not advertising adequately with LI which is arguably most popular legal portal today. I have already recommended LI to the management of my Institute. All good wishes Kian!
N.B. I strongly believe the Bar Exam is wholly unnecessary, forcibly imposed on young law graduates in an arbitrary manner and it must be scrapped for the benefit of one and all.
@18 - I agree with your point. That is partly why we have an editorial policy *not* to write about study tools for example, unless in very rare cases.
The core target we write about are law firms and lawyers, not the dozens of products and services that are being sold to them. For one, it'd be boring, and second of all it'd be a potential conflict and more difficult to maintain independence as you rightly point out.
Our current policy therefore means that we shouldn't be facing any difficult decisions about whether to write about a potential competitor or not, because we simply don't write about those markets at all unless they are marked as sponsored posts.
Hope that makes sense.
Best wishes,
Kian
... but anyways nice thought of helping the poor candidates. Good luck and business with ur business!!!
Special Note: please read the post with a sense of humor, though i am serious about the first two questions, pls reply LI
Make a free account on BarHacker for the full Terms & Conditions, which are very benign.
In a nutshell you need to contact us within 8 days of your failing the bar exam and we will send you a cheque for the course fees within 28 days. And you need to have taken pass two of the mock exams and downloaded our materials. That's it :-)
If we do not do this, I promise that you can take us to the consumer court! :-) Read our FAQs for more info:

We do strongly believe that the product will help the vast majority to pass.
@22 - yes, you are right. BarHacker is run by the same students who set up CLATHacker. They have not yet graduated but have produced courses for leading CLAT training institutes and have spent months poring over the Bar Exam materials and mock tests and analysed good strategies to pass it.

so i dont need to pay them anything..got it free.. and it is pretty good and comprehensive. i thi
It's nice that you got indexes free and won't have to buy them. But your training is miserably incomplete without the videos (which tell you about a number of cool tricks you can use for this exam) and the mock tests, as you can't practise using the indexes in real-life scenario if you don't do the mocks. Ultimately, there may be no point in taking only the indexes for free, because we're giving a money back anyway, in the event you study from our materials and still fail the exam.
So, you're probably better off if you buy the entire course (instead of only the indexes), because your chances of passing then are higher. God forbid, but if you were to fail, you wouldn't lose anything if you purchased our material, because you can claim your money back then.
Glad that you liked the indexes, we know they're amazing.
I'll state again, just for the record, that Legally India is not in a tie-up with the BCI or RM. When we have tie-ups we disclose them transparently, just as we have done in the past, now and will do in future.
We have videos of RM on the site because they were interesting and publicly available on YouTube. Would we be in cahoots with the Times of India if we cite one of their articles or link to a blog or to an analyst report?
In terms of timing, sure we could have offered a course earlier but there were still doubts about the date of the exam and we hadn't thought of doing this tie-up with iPleaders yet, although they've had most of their materials ready.
In any case, the course is perfect for a few days study and I expect that many grads will have left it to the last minute anyway so this could be very useful.
Best wishes,
Kian
Haven't written an open book exam yet, and for those of you referring to your study materials now, i'm sure you'll find that managing and knowing where the answers are over twenty different subjects is quite a task. I'm hoping the indexes and videos help out considerably.
Just waiting for my account to be verified - i'll come back and post a review of the study materials tomorrow.
Props for the money back guarantee and the referral system too.
We have also uploaded additional mock tests and more! The course has been getting really good feedback by the way, which is nice!
Great job Ramanuj and Abhyudhay!

Unfortunately the internet banking gateway would have taken 3 weeks to set up so it was not doable in time for the exam.
Call us if you have any questions on payment - check the BarHacker site for more details... If you really want to take the course and pay for it, we will make it possible for you!
Best wishes,
Kian
