The hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is that you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. you gotta do this sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. life doesn't care. It waits for nobody, and you just have to keep going.

My take on the recent SC judgment on mandatory three years practice:

1. I can speak from experience that young, idealistic and extremely talented youth aspire to be adjudicators. Telling them to park the aspiration for 3 years and enter practice instead may hurt this aspiration more than it helps their ability to adjudicate.

2. It may not be accurate to equate young judges with fresh law graduates. We are missing that they undergo extensive training before actually assuming charge which is long and extensive. Also, the process of exam takes at least one and a half years to three years. Also, they get to sit with sitting judges right from magistrates to the high court.

3. I can say from experience, this year-long process is not only thorough but life-changing. We may always have conversations about ways in which the training may be improved, and the judicial academies are already working in that direction.

4. n any case, I don't think a 3-year experience at the bar makes a huge difference to a young judge’s ability to adjudicate. Law is a marathon not a sprint. It takes a decade to find one's feet in the Bar. 3 years may not have any added tangible effect on the overall suitability of the candidate.

5. Often, especially in litigation, youngsters struggle for a few years and not everyone is able to find a good senior/chambers to work-in. Some more than others. Further, the profession itself is not a panacea, let alone a solution towards improving the services or the quality of judges.

6. We must remember that the profession is saturated, unstructured and places a huge primer of privilege of various kinds – social, gender, geographical, and financial. In the absence of a level playing field, not all who want to be judges may have an equal or unbridled path into the Bar.

7.. The opportunities at the Bar are not enough, equal or perfect substitutes for a career in the judiciary.

8. I believe catching them young, training them in the life of a judge has certain benefits, especially with our mounting arrears and the new technocratic mindset needed. We must remember that young judges’ jurisdiction is constrained is important to be noted.

9. The ‘too young to judge’ argument also discounts the fact that a 24 year old surgeon can perform a life-threatening surgery. A 24 year old IAS and IPS officer routinely takes decisions that alter people’s lives, often irrevocably and often without the guard-rails of judicial appeals and limited jurisdiction. The age argument could be made there too.

10. Also, spending 4-5 years at that Bar (which is inevitable, given the fact that exam process itself takes time and 3 years is the minimum requirement), may make the entry level judicial services unattractive as a career option for young graduates. Someone with a 7 year experience at the Bar is unlikely to want to start off at the entry-level. They would then probably go towards the district judgeship.

The idea should be to catch them young, train them as adjudicators and progressively build skills suited for greater responsibility. 3 years at the Bar would not build adjudication skills acquired over the course of early judgeship years. Also, the conversation that we should be having instead is :

A. Are we attracting the best talent there is or are we losing that out to law firms, corporate firms and top law chambers;

B. Are we retaining the best talent, and training them the best way we can.

Next DJS will have 3 year practice requirement with max age of 32 as of right now, will need to be amended to 35

Min. age now is 26(5YLLB) & 27 in cases of 3 year LLB graduates to even attempt the exam

The era of very young judges & pure first gens as magistrates ends today.

While many students are awaiting DU exam results, some have been marked absent or zero. Some have also been advised to retake the exam to be on the "safer side"

@SonaliS59392007 @narendramodi @DrRPNishank @UnivofDelhi Has it happened with you too? If yes, has it got rectified or not?

[Nitish Mishra @nitish1mishra]

@iAkshitDahiya Many students are facing the same issue. The Dean of examination of DU is saying (as per media reports) that they are updating the results within 3-5 days but till now nothing fruitful has come our way.
@iAkshitDahiya as you are our representative please stand again for us.

[Nitish Mishra @nitish1mishra]

@iAkshitDahiya My results were declared on 27th October. Did everything which is written in the procedure, it's been 16 days but till now my result has not been updated.
I have to take admission in post graduate course but don't know when my result will get sorted.
@iAkshitDahiya Please help.

[Nitish Mishra @nitish1mishra]

@KaranMittal_ @UnivofDelhi @EduMinOfIndia @msisodia @ABVPDelhi @NSUIDelhiUni Still waiting.

[Nitish Mishra @nitish1mishra]

Facing the same issue. I have been marked absent even after giving the exam and even after getting the mail of successful submission from the Delhi University.

Yet, I have been marked absent for the same.
This is our “central university, - Delhi University” ranked the top most in India!
Poor India, poorest education!
Now it will cost me another year, I’m not able to take admission.

#DelhiUniversity OBE results are potentially damaging! Mass discrepancies are being reported by students across multiple courses. Students who appeared for all the exams have been marked "Absent" or "Failed" in two or more papers. (1/3)

Was reading about The Ashoka today and came across a message of his to his subjects:
"If one praises one's own religion while criticising another's, one is actually doing greater harm to one's own religion".
Can't agree more seeing today's day and age.

Certain close people will leave your life.
Or maybe you'll cut them off.

And suddenly you'll witness :
- Your mood is better.
- Your energy levels are higher.
- You're more positive.

It was correct to let them go.
If you haven't let that person go yet, do it now.

[Nitish Mishra @nitish1mishra]

It's important to surround yourself with people smarter than you and to listen to ideas that aren't yours. I'm open to ideas that aren't mine and people that know what I don't, because I think success takes communication, collaboration and sometimes failure.
