Did any of the UVA people have Jody Krauss for Contracts? He's a visiting Prof at CLS now and I'm hoping to get some intel on him.

MaximumBob posted:I don't know if you keep up on the thread, but just in case: you honestly cannot trust Lykourgos. And to be fair, I think I have to mention that you really can't trust Maximum Bob at all, either. I never spoke about who it is they actually hire, but I gave corrections to bighead's post that nobody can really disagree with. As for the three people who have started in the office from this years hiring, two of them spent all their summers and part of their semesters working with the office. One of them did the same, but at the Indiana AG's office. I don't know about the others.

He was the dude I mentioned in my post re: Cook County, the only person from Loyola's class of '09 to be able to work there. He's good people.

My classmates had him, although I was unfortunately stuck with Cohen instead. He's apparently a hardass and I believe he had a 4 hour final that year. The U.Va. Law standard is 3. He's pretty grueling, but I never heard anyone complain about him being a bad teacher.

Ersatz posted:Woot - I just found out that one of my friends has an interview tomorrow at the Patent Office. She has a bachelor's in electrical engineering and a JD, so hopefully it'll work out. i don't even know why they bother interviewing how you are as a person doesn't matter because there's hardly any human interaction, and the only guarantee that you could do this job is if you were good at it before and quit, because people who know patent law aren't necessarily good searchers, and people who know the technical subject matter won't necessarily be able to wrap their head around patent law.

Bid on a company for 3L OCI called "Wilshire Financial Group", I had done a quick google at the time and found out they were an insurance company that also did estate planning & some securities stuff. I stupidly figured the job would involve work for them AS A LAWYER. Now that I've accepted the interview, I happened to notice that it was for the position of "Financial Representative" Everything I can find seems to indicate that this is in fact a 100% commission insurance sales job. gently caress.

Stunt Rock posted:Shitlaw kind of owns. For real. I just took a new case from a cold call. Lady called me, and said she got food poisoning from chinese restaurant's shellfish dish. Barfing, swelling, overnight in the hospital. She had had the same dish from the same restaurant in the past, so it is not an allergic reaction. She told me that she was at work when the incident took place, and she called her daughter to come and drive her to the hospital. But the reaction hit so hard she had to have a co-worker drive her. Where does she work? The local adult caberet. Let's see - puking stripper with a daughter old enough to drive? I'LL TAKE THE CASE  It got even funnier when I sent one of our clerks to the restaurant to try to see who owned it. The local health department requires a certificate to be displayed with the owner's name on it. The restaurant workers caught the clerk trying to write down the name and covered the certificate with a tray, while yelling about the police and throwing my clerk out. I know I am going to lose money on the case, but sure will be fun.

The third is still a mystery, but its getting late in the game for that particular firm to be handing out CBs so I've stopped thinking it's going to happen. So it doesn't automatically equate to future ballyhoo with the firm but take it as a positive.

I hear a big angle for the CoS is that any site talking about CoS religious documents is either engaging in copyright infringement or facilitating it. I wonder if that is the tactic they used to approach Wikipedia. I wonder if any L&W partners are Scientologists. Those salaries would give you a lot of money to spend on climbing the OT level ladder.

This is just my own experience I speak with, but all the dinners I went to were invite only, and invites were extended only after your OCI session. For example, for one of the firms, only one other person who interviewed for the same office as I got an invite. 40 students interviewed for that particular office (other students who interviewed for other offices were there too; I think in total there were around 12 students for four offices, out of 100-120 total who interviewed). The same process was used for the other two firms, with varying amounts of students invited to the dinner. These have all been for national firms, but they have strong offices in the Bay and SoCal, so it could very well be different for firms where the power center lies somewhere else.

Although now I have to think of a new reason to tell the UW Foundation for why I won't donate. For the past four years I told them "I won't donate until the Dean is gone."

My ugrad tries that donation nonsense, and I believe the correct answer is always boisterous laughter until they hang up the phone.

I don't know. I tentatively had something lined up with a hometown firm for the summer, so I put in a couple OCI applications at bigger firms I would like to work at as just kind of a thing to do, if nothing comes of it whatever. They called me back two or three days after my apps were in, asking if I wanted to do dinner the night before OCIs, after a large mixer for all the OCI employers. I think the mixer is the meet and greet, and then you split off with interested firms afterwards, and then do OCIs the next day. I'm cautiously optimistic about it, considering I wasn't even really expecting responses

My favorite reply to the UC donations callers is that my graduation year had to file a class action lawsuit over their breach of contract on fees, and the school were super bitchy about it and fought it all the way to the California Supreme Court, and now they want more money?  Also, alcohol chat: got a bottle of Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Kentucky Bourbon from a client. Will report back on its ability to replace Jack Daniels in my desk drawer/getting shitfaced plans for tonight.
