I always feel a little sad whenever helpful "don't go to law school" advice turns in to mean "don't go to law school you moron" ranting but I dunno how it can be avoided. It's like a eunuch trying to talk a friend out of teabagging a bear trap, it gets personal

I got lucky and bought BarBri materials from the previous year from an alumna for $50 and just studied from home on my own. Really took the sting out of never finding a job as a lawyer.

I just sit here and read this stuff, and it sounds a lot like the type of bitching I'm used to hearing from people in my current and soon to be former occupation. Long hours, lovely work, mountains of paperwork, digging through obscure documents to find one line to support your point, excessive drinking, etc. I fully get that it's poo poo, but the parts that people say are worst are things that I'm already used to or that I actually kindof like in a way. Besides, I'm getting paid to go to school. I have no delusions of getting rich being a lawyer or even getting a job right away. It doesn't matter if I do because I'm already disabled and get paid monthly regardless.

I'm just a patent examiner. I won't have any of this "we" business. A special thank you goes out to Baruch Obamawitz for suggesting I give this a try before going to law school because, well, it's poo poo.

I only started playing video games at 9:30 tonight. Mostly because my wife was sick and sleeping all evening so it's not like I had anything else to do, and I'm moving in a few weeks and want to shore up my production because I'm due for a bonus soon and want to make sure I get it when I don't get much work done for a week.

evilweasel posted:Well aren't we leisure mclayabout. Most of the time, and if it makes any of you people in prosecution feel any better, it's probably harder to get a case allowed as a junior examiner because you have to overcome the primary's feeling of "well I'm just not feeling like this is allowable. the claims are pretty broad, no?" without any actual art to argue against.

Hey, is there a patent equivalent of a sovereign citizen? In Patent Prosecution class several weeks ago, we were looking at a copy of some action or report about a patent application, and I happened to search for one of the examiners' names on Google, a South Asian looking name, and found out that his name had actually been spelled wrong in that report. And I can imagine somebody saying a patent is invalid because of something like that.

He's referring to pro se inventors, and they're either the patent equivalent to sovereign citizens, too loving cheap to hire someone and they gently caress up badly, or some patent attorney trying to make some bucks on the side or something.

It's a brilliant plan by Obama, imo. Secretly detain the brave inventor of this machine, and at the same time approve the patent so that nobody else can build it.

seeing all this crap about bar exams in the states makes me glad that in my province, the bar admission program consists of 20 weeks of online modules, with written assignments, which from what I have heard, are easy as hell. Even if you gently caress some of them up, you can just re submit the assignment.

For the USPTO, attorneys probably babysit the (likely lovely) examiner as much as their client.

Last law school final ever today. Magnificent feeling. Also, no joke, I find class action issues to be some of the most interesting stuff I've studied. Class actions own.
