Tetrix posted:woah congrats. got any tips on writing it? Try to find a circuit split on an issue, then analyze it and either pick a side or propose a third option. Some people take the route of trying to predict a case that's been granted cert (like a whole bunch of IP folks did Bilski), but that kind of puts a time limit of your note as far as publication is concerned. I was lucky enough to have a circuit split on an issue involving preemption of my state's law by the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, with the Supreme Court doing me a favor of having Roberts recuse himself and issuing a 4-4 opinion so it was basically worthless for precedential value. Also I got the idea from reading drug and device legal blogs, if you're interested in a legal topic try to find what the practitioners are writing and worrying about.

I'm gunning for a privacy counsel position and I'll definitely have to read up on this. Also Petey, have you seen the IGDA/AIAS brief on Schwarzenegger v. EMA? It just got filed the other day, as did EMA/ESA's Respondent's merits brief: http://bit.ly/IGDAAmicus It's actually really interesting. California's briefs look like they were argued by a 0L gunner, while EMA and IGDA's are much better and much more direct. Leif. fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Sep 18, 2010 |

That said, I'll definitely print this out to read on the bus ASAP. It looks like a really interesting read.

I love how the state's least restrictive means analysis (which they were dinged on at both courts below) is literally one page basically saying "It's the least restrictive means", without addressing the Ninth Circuit's ruling that existing ESRB ratings are a lesser restrictive means.

Savvy to market your firm to that wealthy demographic of People Who Pick Law Firms Based on Music They Like. I suppose now is a good time as any to announce the opening of my new divorce law firm, Sex Pistols and Associates. Our motto will either be "I'm not your stepping stone," or just just "Liar."

Totally Negro posted:What is the best way to deal with a cop during a routine traffic stop? How would a lawyer/law student handle things ideally? That would depend on whether I wanted to make some stand about "my rights" or just cooperate and get on with my day. I've been pulled over four times. The three times I had actually broken a law (speeding, speeding, and expired tags), I politely answered all the questions and proceeded on my way without anything more than a warning. The other time I had not broken a law. I was pulled over by an off-duty detective in an unmarked car who was mad that I'd passed him on a two-lane road while he sat chatting with someone out his window. I took a stand with that guy and, although it worked out, I did end up sitting there for a long time.

(This amde possible because cops always do the same things) Also made possible because cops/defs often do different things. Because apparently def attys don't care about using old motions in literally every single case, almost entirely untouched if possible. Hmm a reconsider sentencing motion, claiming that the def has a loving and supporting family... in a case where he murdered them all? oops, but just wait until you see the new trial motion with bullet points that have persisted since before my birth.

Start with a 20 minute diatribe entitled "legalize it brosef". Then just rant on some obscure issue that you feel violates the constitution (I recommend city code compliance).

Totally Negro posted:What is the best way to deal with a cop during a routine traffic stop? How would a lawyer/law student handle things ideally? The most important thing is to immediately identify yourself as a law student so that the cop knows you know what you're talking about. Then your arguments will be treated with respect so you should make as many as possible; he'll understand, he's only a cop (explain that to him if you feel it's necessary).

For the full experience, I suggest asserting strongly that you are, in fact, a pre-law major and you know things.

OCI update despite being very firmly in the top quarter of a T30 school and being on a secondary journal with a ton of soft factors including 2 clerkships and financing/budgeting experience I just received word from the last of my first round interviews.
