Another serious post re: topics! Looking for thoughts on a topic related to the psychology of diversity and discrimination. Nothing to do with corporations, the board room, shareholders or employment/labor - I'm doing another article on that + diversity issues. Looking for thoughts on a topic about VIDEO GAME LAW. Everything is fair game. These are class papers, ~30 pages each, although I'd be interested in turning them into full blow articles.

I really wish we had more law practice advice/chat in this thread. Sometimes it's good to be able to bounce ideas off of other lawyers or get help with pleadings or legal issues. Coincidentally, if anyone has any REALLY good sample MSJs or Daubert motions... Linguica posted:Still no jobs here, die alone as well (the latter becoming much more apparent when my long-term GF broke up with me last night) This may or my not make you feel better, but here goes: My girlfriend and I dated for five years. Three of those were in law school. We lived together throughout all of law school, and had all the same classes the first two years. Third year only about half of our classes were together. She got a job working for DOJ and I didn't have poo poo. After about 7 months of the long distance thing the whole thing erupted into a horrible nasty fight that almost kept us from staying friends. But in the four months that I was single, I really got my rear end in gear in terms of building up my practice. Not having someone around can really be a good motivator. When you get into a long term relationship, it's easy to take things for granted. And it's easy to get lazy when you know someone will be there to bail you out. You probably don't want to hear it, but this break-up could end up being really good for you in the long run. Stunt Rock fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Dec 1, 2010 |

evilweasel posted:Does the blood plasma come pre-infused with alcohol? Occasionally, yes. The quality of the alcohol depends on the status of my bank account and on the whims of the local alcohol board. I expect the luxurious premium charged for booze pads their coffers nicely.

I was in the process of filling out a ~30 page sperm donor application before I got my temp job. It's surprisingly profitable, though they do hold half your money until you complete the terms of your contract. Part of it is that you're not allowed to ejaculate in a certain period before a donation. What if you have a wet dream or something? Can you just lie or will they know? Anyway thoughts like this are the fruit of my legal career in case anyone was still thinking about going

Elotana posted:Did you try outlinedepot? BK is a pretty common class, if there aren't old outlines there for your professor specifically there's almost certainly commercial flowcharts keyed to your textbook. I've seen a bunch of stuff on Outline Depot that looked relevant (Outlines keyed to my casebook, etc), but Outline Depot seemed a bit sketchy, and "Outline depot scam" came up when I went to google them. Are they legit? Did you buy the outlines, or upload your own?

Yeah, when you and your sig-other are in the same field, the success gradient can be a really problematic issue, especially when there's that much difference.

Don't bother trying to upload this late into the semester; I tried that once and they didn't get around to "reviewing" my submissions until the next semester. Ended up buying the outline and felt lovely about it but new prof and it worked out pretty well.

I hired someone to paint my living room. Turns out he has a law degree. He can't find a job so now he works for his dad's painting company. He says he makes more money painting than any of the law jobs he was looking at. So there's that option, I suppose.

CmdrSmirnoff posted:The income tax consequences for space travelers at sub-light speeds. Probably not interesting. As a US citizen you're still obligated to file a return every year (assuming you make anything) and I'm willing to bet that the government does not consider the time in foreign jurisdictions when determining whether or not you failed to comply.

In that case you actually have an easement to build a giant lava rear end to do the same to him. Btw Rog, do you know the firm Johnston Tobey in D-town? Stunt Rock posted:Apparently the other side is writing an MSJ because they're such cocky shitbirds they think they'll win at MSJ and only have a trial on damages so I will probably need one of those at some point. Hahahaha, I've done that just to make an insurance company take a case seriously/convince a court of a factual dispute. Still dumb according to the oldtime attorneys because imposition of liability by a jury usually increases damages.

No because you implicitly authorized them to build such a face when you invited them to participate in a game that arguably is specifically designed for making giant lava vomiting faces.

Basically my guy wrote them saying he was going to send some nasty letters out if they didn't pay him. Then he sent some nasty letters out. The people he sent letters to sent those letters to the Plaintiff and said "LOOK AT THIS JERK" Their response to my interrogatory about when they learned he was sending these supposedly defamatory letters out? "We learned that he was THREATENING to send letters on [DAY IN 2006], but didn't get confirmation that the letters were actually mailed until his deposition in July of 2010."
