"Perhaps the fact the defendant had to be dragged out of the courtroom while declaring 'Death to you all, a Jihad on the court' may have had something to do with the revocation of his bond. That or calling the judge a bald-headed cock-sucker. Either way."

You know what law school didn't prepare me for OTHER than being a lawyer? Having to observe urine tests.

It's really getting old.

I think I like my job in theory, but the actual day-to-day mechanics of it have really lost their charm. There's probably a version of my job somewhere that I could unambiguously enjoy, but the list of gripes gets longer every day. The ennui has really set in; I think I've gone back to the "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech from Macbeth (5.5.17-27) every day this week.

I've already left a comment on how it clearly contradicts binding federal circuit precedent, and they've told us it's mandatory to implement already even though the public comment period just started

They've been hyping it up since last fall about how it would reduce 101 rejections a lot.

Iancu deeply deeply hates modern 101.

In theory the 112 guidance would cover most of the applications that would have been rejected under 101... but let’s be honest, most examiners are going to take the WJ approach and say “gently caress that I’m lazy.”

Yeah, but 99% of the time those applications fail to actually disclose how they do what they do anyway.

Serving capital/corporate interests isn't exclusively a "V20 biglaw" thing, it's pretty much a "private sector employment of almost any type" thing, particularly for lawyers. Private equity is morally no different than a bank or Google or Nestle or a sovereign wealth fund or any of the 10,000 legal forms that capital may assume. They're all rapacious by definition.

You're right that serving capital interests is not exclusively a big law thing, but the difference is big law builds and enforces the structures that regular people have to exist in.

V20 big law bears more responsibility for growing wealth inequality, destruction of organized labor and the increasing financialization of the economy than a mid level director at Caterpillar, Google, Nestle or whatever. We build the tax advantaged structures that allow for things like PE funds and MLPs to avoid taxation. When mortgage backed securities were being created, it was V20 lawyers doing the leg work to put them together (e.g., building the actual securities line by line). It's impossible to separate what high level corporate attorneys do from the larger macro level trends in the country and handwave it away by just being like "I'm basically the same thing as a Target manager so whatevs".

"20-ish days" from like Wednesday? although I don't know if that's calendar or business. Apparently Iancu said something about it at the beginning of the shutdown?

I think you just need to put in the request for interview within the month in order to stay in FAI

Also historically, the firm that did the most if the early securitization work wasn't prestigious and is dead. (And a lot of the firms that picked up from that weren't the V20 either. It was crappy work.)
