It's great evidence in my view of the person of ordinary skill in the art at a given time; if the teaching is so common as to be on Wikipedia, it's in fact below the ordinary skill to something like lay unskilled in the art. Whether you can use it as a 102(b) reference is a different question, and the answer is a clear yes, for the reason you state.

fast food chat ITT We sent an engagement letter to a client via email, PDF format, and the client responds by telling us that he can't open the file format. ...who doesn't have Adobe Acrobat Reader these days? WTF. I ended up sending the letter in two Word formats, one .DOCX and one .DOC, since I can't be sure that this client can open .DOCX. I almost sent him a download link to Adobe Acrobat but he's not paying us to correct his techno-ignorance.

You fuckers don't know what a burger is supposed to be. Luckily, Steve Stodghill, a principal at Fish and Richardson in Dallas, decided to invest in restaurants so he could show you what a real goddamned burger should be. Behold, the Stodg: Bacon, Aged Cheddar, a fried egg, a half pound burger patty, and the bun is smeared with foie gras. http://www.theporchrestaurant.com/menu.php The rest of you are just peons.

billion dollar bitch posted:Okay, according to Columbia records, 24 people accepted offers at DC firms last summer. Given that only 266 people accepted offers in general, I think that's okay - a lot of the DC offices/firms didn't receive more than 20 bids or so. I don't know anyone else applying down in DC, either. The problem with DC is it's the second-best law city, but there's just not that many jobs for people. There's so many more jobs avalible in New York that going pure-DC will be hard because more than 10% of the class will be interested in DC. However, you've got a great backup plan if you want to be in DC since that's where a lot of the government jobs are, you should be looking at those as well.

Ray's Hell Burger, right outside DC, serves burgers that are made from incredibly high quality butcher cuts. They too have a burger on their menu that has foie gras on it, but Ray's comes with truffle oil. Truffle oil. You can also get burgers with cognac + sherry sauteed mushrooms, or with shallots, etc. http://www.allmenus.com/va/arlington/273616-rays-hell-burger/menu/ Ray's Hell Burger has hosted the only black President of the God-blessed United States of America.

It probably needed more context but I got the sense that the wikipedia cite was to describe some technical background concept or establish a device using particular method of operation or something. Plus it means their associate spent 5 minutes googling it instead of 10 hours looking it up in an obscure treatise, way too efficient to be good lawyering on a large (and I'm assuming high-budget) patent case.

just wanted to take a minute and commend those two Emory 0Ls in this thread on their well-researched choicequote:What do [Emory Career Services] do to help? Nothing. Then becomes even clearer when you look to our past two OCI cycles: i hope you have to fight each other in a murder pit with sharpened sticks for that 1 job

Of course I'll be applying to the government jobs as well - OCI isn't until later though. But EIP bidding is over, and I'm locked in. All I really want is Crowell and Mooring, because they seem to treat their people very well, and seem to have a good atmosphere.

I really like my firm actually though the paralegal I was talking to last night was telling me horror stories, but fortunately they were mostly attorneys dumping huge amounts of work on her and then leaving for the day. But yeah "treats their employees humanely" is basically the most important thing to look for right after "is this place firing everyone including you even though you don't even have a job yet they're just giving you an offer so they can fire more people"

I have no idea, frankly. The whole process is still opaque to me, even after going through it and while I know firms do GPA cutoffs (though I don't know how widespread it is, what it is, ect) I know nothing else about what goes into the decisions. I do know you'll loathe the doubletree and never want to see it ever again by the end though.

Firm prestige shouldn't matter as much as it does, but it does because people choose to put meaning into it.

Green Crayons posted:I'm dubious of these claims of solo greatness only because "immigration law" doesn't sound like it nets one all the hookers and blow and phat cars and stacks of money that I've been led to believe a JD would hand me on a silver platter. I never claimed I was great or greatly successful but that the legal market is very healthy for many solos and small firm partners. In the last 30 days, I've grossed more than I did my first year in business. As a starting solo with only $2k/month in expenses, you only need one client/month to break even or even make a profit. It is surely difficult and most solos will likely fail, business is loving good for those that make it.

Conversely, firm prestige also often means poo poo. Latham used to be a top 10 firm on everyone's radar when I went to school all of five years ago. After they made "to Latham" into a verb, I imagine their prestige means less now even for people who stuck around and are trying to lateral out. Frankly, I would put layoffs/lack thereof above everything else. Yes, prestige sort of matters when getting out. It just doesn't matter as much as an extra six months of paychecks, which in turn translates to six extra months to interview while still employed.
