    Of False Fiends and Scholarship Repayments

    This article has been written by Chirayu Jain (Batch of 2017) in context of the recently released NLSIU Fee Notification 2020-21, which rolled back the NLSIU Scholarship Policy 2015, amongst other changes. Artwork by Anshita Agrawal and Gunjan Jadiya (Batch of 2023). When the Scholarship Policy 2015 was announced, I thought it was a joke. That was the year when few others and I were motivated enough to treat all our peers at NLS as data points and to compile them into one stu

    Dialogue, Dissent and Demonstrations: In Conversation With Sachin Malhan, Sarayu Natarajan, Tanmay A

    At the dawn of this new chapter, Law School finds itself at the threshold of new possibilities. Getting here has not been easy. This phase was heralded by demonstrations of dissent and a breakdown of student-administration relations. And as we enter this new dawn, it is essential to re-examine the way in which we express our dissent, as well as the way in which we are heard, in order to ensure a free flow of ideas and opinions amongst all institutional stakeholders. Only then

    A Case for a Common Entrance Test for NLSIU

    This article was written by Siddharth Chauhan (Batch of 2008). Any recent graduate of Law School needs no introduction to Siddharth or more fondly known as simply ‘Chauhan’. The 20 months when he taught at Law School left an indelible mark on each student he taught. Always giving his all to Law School, his legacy still remains strong to this date. Writing in January 2005 for the first issue of Quirk, this article by Chauhan strikes an astonishingly prescient tone. The entranc

    Confessions of a “One of Us”

    Anonymous In the first trimester of Law School, I was crying on a friend’s shoulder in an autorickshaw, disappointed at my average performance in the university debate rounds. As somebody who believed myself to be a good debater, it was crushing to be shown my place in the university pool. My friend’s reaction though took me of guard. Concerned about me, and wanting to reassure me, he asked me why I kept feeling the need to prove I was good at extra-curricular activities. Was

    Sarasu Ma’am: A Law School Odyssey

    Professor Sarasu Esther Thomas, well known for her incredibly popular Family Law course, has the unique distinction of doing her LLB, LLM and PhD from NLS. Beneath her soft spoken demeanour she hides a biting sense of humor which has largely contributed to the success of the Facebook page, ‘Heard in Law School’. Quirk Team felt there would be no one better to provide an insight to the life and times of Law School. Law School has gone through many changes since you’ve been her
