Guys I need tips on what to prepare for an internship interview at AZB and Partners. I have an interview tomorrow and I think I will be subjected to corporate and M&A related questions but has anyone else actually attended an interview. If so tell me how to crack it.

​

​Hey everyone, needed some honest perspective because my head is all over the place right now.

​Long story short: I’ve been stuck at home for 4 years because I did my B.Com via distance education. Sitting at home this long has been brutal for my mental health, so I gave multiple 3-year LLB entrance exams this year. But because I barely got time to prep properly for any of them, I scored poorly across the board and didn't clear the top law schools.

​The only option I currently have in hand is an affiliated college under Lucknow University. I know it’s not a great college, but I genuinely cannot stay cooped up at home for another year. I somehow convinced my parents to let me join this college just to get out of the house and get moving.

​Deep down, I’m treating this as an escape plan. My internal plan is to re-prep for entrances (like DU, NLSAT, etc.) while attending this college, and hopefully transfer/leave as soon as I clear a solid national university or DU.

​Am I being realistic here, or am I making a mess of things? Has anyone here managed to re-prepare for law entrances while being enrolled in a tier-3 state college? Would really appreciate some practical advice or reality checks.

Same as heading.
Actually I am in a law school and already studying law.

Could anyone please guide me on the colleges one could consider for part time PhD in law? Ones that wouldn’t have a strict on-campus stay requirement? RGNUL and NLU-D have strict on campus requirements. NLS does not have the concept of part time PhDs. I came across NALSAR which divides its compulsory classes across weekends, etc.so working professionals can be easily accommodated. But I haven’t been reading very positive reviews about NALSAR inasmuch as there are alleged administrative delays, high attrition among professors and delayed completion of PhD. GNLU offers part time PhD as well, is it good? Jindal seems like a good option too. Is anyone here pursuing/ has pursued part time PhD and can please guide?

Easy, simple language cause I am naive at law

I’m a law student currently pursuing my undergraduate degree and I’m planning to pursue LL.M. for my postgraduate studies
The main reason I want to pursue a PG degree is that I’m currently doing my UG from a college that unfortunately, does not provide the kind of academic environment, exposure, peer group or opportunities I’m looking for. I want to use my postgraduate studies as an opportunity to move to a better college, a better city, and most importantly, surround myself with ambitious and like minded people who are at a similar level academically and professionally
Placements are not my primary concern. My plan is to work at a good law firm for around 5–6 years, gain substantial experience and then return to my hometown and join my family’s litigation practice. I performed well in CLAT UG, so I’m confident that I can perform well in CLAT PG as well. At the moment, I’ve shortlisted Mumbai and Delhi as my preferred cities along with the respective NLUs there. However, as a safety option, I’ve also shortlisted two private universities Op Jindal Global University and NMIMS Mumbai. Do you think these are good options for my goals or would you suggest any better alternatives?

Hello all,

I graduated from an NLU, I have interned with a lot of tier 1 firms. I have built my way up interning from tier 3 to tier 1. I have won a national and international moot. I have learnt the art of publications during my college days.

I loved mooting during college and till date coach teams for mooting, drafting memorials, preparing for arguments, polishing research skills etc. I have during my time in college understood how tier 1 and 2 work, being better at finding internships, building network.

I want to share this knowledge with people who need it. So, anyone who is looking for a coach for a moot or someone needing a session on how to navigate law school in such a way that you end up making a CV worth it. Please reach out.

For someone who has just started preparing for clat/ailet which institute would you suggest. Please give genuine suggestions and experience for online classes. This is for a student in Gurgaon.

I’m doing BA LLB, and I joined college a week after the classes had already started. By the time I arrived, it felt like everyone had already found their people. Groups had formed, friendships had started, and somehow everyone seemed to know everyone.
Meanwhile, I’m here without a single friend, trying to figure out how to fit into a place where it feels like I’ve already missed the beginning of everything. And honestly, it’s getting really lonely. It’s hard watching people laugh together, sit together, and already have their own circles while I’m still standing on the outside.
So now I’m wondering: what should I actually do to start bonding with people and become part of a group? How do I approach people without making it awkward, and how can I naturally get included when everyone already seems to have their own friends?
I don’t want to force myself into anyone’s circle. I just want to find my people and finally feel like I belong here too.

Hi,

I’ve been wanting to write and publish a legal research paper for a while. I’ve tried working on papers with friends from law school before, but somehow it never really worked out, probably because we were all new to the publication process, or maybe because it’s quite a rigorous process and maintaining consistency between friends can get difficult.

So, I was wondering if anyone who has some experience with legal research/publications would be interested in co-authoring a paper with me. I’d be happy to work together on choosing a topic, researching, writing, and figuring out the publication process.

If anyone’s interested, please feel free to DM me. It would be great to work on something together!

Hii guys, I might be joining you all soon fingers crossed :))

Just wanted to get to know what your experience abhi tak after completing 1+ month

How many events have been conducted for you all and have the inductions for clubs etc already taken place??

Let me know what all I have already missed out on lol

I currently got into glc (state) pretty good one, not the best so i was wondering if I should try for nlus and private colleges

I haven't started prepping and heard it is quite costly

Is all of it worth ?

Hi everyone
Soo I’m gonna join glc Mumbai this year
Would like hostel/pg recommendations
It would be nice if these amenities are available:

1)2/3-sharing room rather than very crowded rooms
2)AC room — Mumbai humidity is no joke
3)Attached bathroom
4)24/7 hot & cold water
5)Regular housekeeping
6)Laundry service / washing machines
7)Good Wi-Fi
8) Enough charging points
9)24/7 security + CCTV
10)Secure entry/exit system
11)RO/filtered drinking water
13)Power backup

This all feels too much to demand for
But I mean these are basic necessities 😭😭😭

Hey everyone. this post is not just for seeking empathy or sympathy it’s much more than that. I need real, practical perspectives from people who have been through this.

Please take a minute and actually read this through because I’m feeling completely suffocated and I genuinely don’t know where else to turn right now.

​I’m sitting here spiraling, facing my third attempt at CLAT (Common Law Admission Test), and I feel like my life is completely ruined before it even starts. The first time I gave CLAT was in 12th grade, and everything got totally messed up because I was trying to balance board exams with prep, and the whole stress just destroyed me. Last year I took a drop and I gave CLAT again for my second attempt, but the consortium suddenly shifted the entire paper pattern and introduced all that analytical reasoning shit out of nowhere, completely wrecking my score and my preparation.

​Ever since then, I’ve been trapped in this nightmare. After the clat exam day I spent months just lying in bed staring at the ceiling, overwhelmed by so much anxiety that I started having full-blown panic attacks. I finally got out of that dark loop for a few months, but now I’m forced into taking admission at Lucknow University (LU) for their 5-year integrated LLB program as a backup and I am sliding right back into that same dark hole.

​LU is an absolute nightmare for me. The infrastructure is broken, the vibe is completely dead, there’s zero exposure, and the environment feels so depressing that I know deep down I don’t belong on those seats for the next 5 years of my life. But my parents won’t hear me out for any private law schools as it's expensive and also because they’re completely stuck on the "reputed 100-year-old government university" tag. Meanwhile, all my friends are off to amazing, rich, top-tier colleges living their best lives, and watching them while I’m stuck here makes me feel so much resentment and isolation.

​So now I’m back to prepping for CLAT again to try to get out, but the moment I open my books, that severe, paralyzing anxiety comes rushing right back. It feels like a 5-year sentence if I stay at LU, but the pressure of preparing for CLAT again is suffocating. It’s gotten so heavy that I’m honestly having serious mental health crisis because it feels like if I fail this CLAT attempt, my entire life is fucked from all sides and I have no future left.

​I’m not looking for toxic competitive advice or people telling me to "just study harder." I just feel completely trapped, terrified, and hopeless. Has anyone ever been stuck in a college/course they hated while trying to drop/prep again for CLAT or another entrance exam? How did you survive the panic attacks when it felt like you were at rock bottom? Idk I feel so lost. Just really need some supportive, human advice right now

Actually one of my cousin was telling that we need connections at higher levels even if we graduate from good colleges to get into law firms. He has given Clat 2021 & completing his graduation from Symbiosis Noida.
