WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

"Consider it my obsessive compulsive nature if you like."

Like your compulsion for spinning lies? Actually, neither institution needed to perform the lobotomy on you. It's hard to remove what was never there.

You are by far the most clueless individual on these forums, yet act with a sense of superiority as if you know everything. News for...stopp listening to your older cousins and stay in school. You might learn something.

And FYI...math majors are all they're cracked out to be. It sort of like spending 4 years to learn what engineers learn in 2 years...

AC Expert In Everything,

Is there a limit to the number of postings I'm allowed?

Consider it my obsessive compulsive nature if you like.

That is correct I left AC and was a math major. Unfortunately neither institutions performed a lobotomy on me. :)

Idiot-savant,

I'm an attorney in a small firm. The firm practices in business litigation, worker's compensation, insurance litigation, trademarks, immigration and more. My practice area focuses more on business litigation, insurance litigation, trademark and some worker's compensation.

Did law school prepare me for practice? Yes and no. Law school did not teach me about the day to day practices. I've learned these by practicing. In my field, people and communication skills are very important which cannot really be taught in a course or in a book.

Working in a small firm, we do have more control over our case loads than in a large law firm where there is more office politics and many layers you have to go through. We at small law firms need to wear more hats than those at large law firms.

I have never worked in-house, but I do have friends who do. The hours are much more manageable than working at a firm. Your only client is the company you work for.

There are also "boutique firms" which are smaller than large law firm. They specialize in an area of law. They have the sophistication of many large law firms, but are smaller. Often, but not always the case, the founding partners used to work at large law firms, but now want more control of their practice.

As for your question about Patent Law- most Patent Attorneys have science or engineering background. But, I actually have met a Patent Attorney who has a degree in English. You do have to pass the Patent Bar which has a lower pass rate than the regular state bar exams.

Any other questions, let me know. Otherwise, I wish you the best in your career (I presume from the looks of your post you are new to the field).

AC Dropout,

Why are you on all the topics on Goldsea.com? Do you claim to be an expert in all topics? I thought you were an Andersen Consulting dropout (Y2K computer consulting) and a math major?

Annapolis-Harvard Law Grad,

Too bad the Freedom of Speech is universally applied here. Even an unsuccessful ambulance-chasing baboon, like yourself, is allowed to rant. I guess you must have missed that day in constitutional law class.

You must have some pretty difficult demons that you deal with everyday, if you keep projecting negatively on my handle. In your personal life do you know of real dropouts who have become more successful than you?

I would like to hear from attorneys past and present, how they feel about law practice and how their law school education helped them with whatever they are doing.

I didn't go to a top law school, I know that most AA's did not. Regardless of where you went to law school or what type of work you're doing, please share a few words of wisdom ...how's that immigration practice, how is it working in-house, how law degree is totally useless, whatever ...

Idiot-savant,

I don't know about the details about going into that field. I do know a friend who is in that field and I would be hard press to believe he has any technical degrees.

IDiot-Savant:

You don't need specifically an engineering degree for the patent bar; you need a BS. It could be in something such as geology, chemistry, etc. As long as you have a BS, you can qualify to take the patent bar.

Also, you don't need a science or engineering degree to practice IP law. There are many fields within IP law. For transactional work such as patent prosecution, you need the Patent Bar and a science/engineering degree. For copyright/tradesecret/litigation work, you don't need the patent bar. Ironically, you don't need an engineering or science degree for patent litigation. The problems is, every other swinging BA/Humanities major knows this, so you face a much greater field of competition in IP fields that does not require an science/engineering degree.

AC Clueless:

IP is soft in terms of transactional work (go ask a friend what that means). Litigation is steady, but considered now hot since everything else is low.

You are the clueless individuals trying to get in on all discussion topics. Too bad your brain can't catch up with your mouth.
