Recently a lawyer friend asked for a format of a prenup.
I asked him why does he want it when its not valid in India!!
He said his client is a filthy rich person who wants to execute one to only understand the intention of his wife!
Based on the doc he will take future action!

Don't choose litigation (especially the High profile and voluminous matters) if you can't handle the pressure
Litigation is taxing!
Before you get into it, understand it
Judges work much more than lawyers. They're paid lesser than what a fresher is paid in tier 1
They don't crib

There is no respect for young lawyers in the profession.

In Supreme Court, if you do any E-filing, the registry has 3 printers via which they take printouts and check the file for defects
What's the purpose of E-filing if ultimately printouts have to be taken?
Can't the registry be trained?
If they can't adapt to tech, Transfer them!

The High Court episode was bad and uncalled for.
But it’s high time that seniors in the HC leave their reserved seats.
