The only reason I use Google patents over EAST is for searchable PDFs of parents so I can find column-line of a passage I found in EAST which is much better for searching EAST gives me the paragraph number which is fine for applications, but not so much for patents

By the end of the FY, I will have worked t every possible hour of OT that I can but for six hours back in December for some reason I don't remember, plus the 16 I lost when they backed down from 32 to 24 during the last shutdown

I agree that law school is/was the wrong choice for most people.....including me. But, the process is abusive enough already without making GBS threads on people who could use some advice. What area are you in that the hours are relaxed?

I really enjoyed the feeling of wasting a couple seconds reading the inner monologue of a literal human honeybee and would like to recreate it as often as possible Sorry Terrorist, I generally ignore the posts of people I don't recognize and I forget people like you are in here. Whenever I post, unless I'm directly responding to something you said, it's safe to assume I'm talking to other people and just skip it. That pretty much goes for everyone that doesn't know me IRL except for SV and AR.

I said I know a good dystopia but he didn't get it. On the one hand I think "classes" of law students exist: pandas, underachievers, gunners, That Guy. Otoh I think point buy systems can really capture the balance of being very successful going with being a massive tool.

Occasionally full of undesirables on the way to the ovens, but hell, that's none of my business. quote:Speaking of D&D one of my friends wants to design a role playing game. I am going to suggest "Law Student: The Breaking" I'll make this game. Manage stress against loans. Will you go out to eat, or avoid a few thousand in loans? Oh no, you just blanked on your modified OCI roll: take two stress, but uh oh, looks like you're approaching the stress ceiling. Game would go in nine rounds: one per semester plus 1L summer, 2L summer, and bar prep. Winner gets the best outcome in terms of job quality minus loan totals. How far are you willing to push your stress levels? Choose your character: splitter, gunner, URM, law nerd, charisma king, The Hot One, Married With Kids, Corporate Guy, etc. Look out, if you bust your stress ceiling, the results are dire. Maybe you'll pick up the alcoholism trait, a Bad Breakup, or another physchological defect! Beware, after three stress breaks, you risk suicide!

Property law is the most boring subject I've ever read, but contracts is pretty neat. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Also, some legal fraternity came around soliciting people to join. Seems kind of like a waste of time but members get the previous year's outline for each class from the top student so I guess that kind of seems worth it.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:Property disputes are second only to employment law for insane litigants. Cook county just instituted a procedure to freeze title any time plaintiffs in foreclosure cases want, because someone in the legislature finally got sick of sovereign citizens filing too much zany poo poo. Too bad it isn't automatic but it's a step. Family law seems worse than landlord tenant, with the exception of when I see cases where a parent hires a lawyer to evict the adult child and the judge just shakes his head and is like man this is not going to settle

How smart are the people in this fraternity? Really, getting a good outline can make a huge difference--but you can just ask people for theirs if you hang out around your upperclassmen a lot. I think the best outline I ever got was from a friend in theater club.
