diospadre posted:Is there any route to becoming a patent examiner if you have no science background whatsoever? GregNorc posted:Or better, how stringent are they? (Eg could an info sci major get a software patent examiner position) The link from my last post lists a job posting for computer scientists at the GS-5 level. The basic requirement is: "Have at least a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or bachelor's degree with 30 semester hours in a combination of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. At least 15 of the 30 semester hours must have been in any combination of statistics and mathematics that included differential and integral calculus. All academic degrees and course work must be from accredited or pre-accredited institutions." So your degree doesn't necessarily need to be in CS if you can show the combined coursework listed above. It's definitely worth applying if you're interested.

Jesus christ, the poo poo I've seen in this one case. We just filed for sanctions for the first time against the opposing party because they violated a court order and they FLIPPED THE gently caress OUT, despite them having requested sanctions against us times in every motion and every response for bringing a "frivolous claim."

Got an interview with another state SC judge...again, one basically diametrically opposed to me philosophically and politically. I don't know if my resume is somehow coming off as conservative despite the criminal defense work, the plaintiff's PI work, and the publication criticizing a tort reform statute, or if these judges just want a devil's advocate type of dude up in their office. Welp anyway once more into the breach

I thought this was really common? Don't Scalia and Thomas always hire at least 1 leftist hippy clerk? Maybe the State SC justices model themselves after the great overlords Scalia and Thomas.

Harry Ellis posted:why should people be pissed about this? It's what Cravath gave last year, which was this really bad year. Now things are better, the PPP is going up, associates are billing more etc, so you'd think maybe people who gutted out a ton of hours would get some acknowledgment of that. They didn't. To put it in perspective, my dad works retail with no college background and he'll be getting what a mid level would get doing the 9-5 thing. So you know, don't go lovely bonus die alone.
