Eight years after the US Supreme Court ruled Texas’ sodomy laws
unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas (2003)—a decision that technically
made all sodomy laws invalid—eighteen states still continue to enforce
legislation designed to criminalize any form of non-vaginal sex—butt, mouth
, eye and nose—between consenting same-sex adults.
Some states push these anti-gay statutes through tight-lipped loopholes

Kansas governor Sam Brownback
Even though the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003 struck down bans on consensual
sex between gays, many states still have unenforceable laws against gay sex,
including Kansas.
Kansas's conservative Republican governor, Sam Brownback, recently
recommended that 51 outdated laws be repealed, but the "criminal sodomy"
statute, which includes oral sex, was not not one of them. LGBT leaders say

解决所有社会问题。这对左派右派都是有教育意义的。

今年35，有理科PhD,有全职工作（比较轻松）。现有一个tier 4 law school全奖+每年
一万的生活费让去读。不知道该不该去。虽说兴趣是有的，还有钱赚，但看版上铺天盖
地的说不值得去读JD，毕竟有家有娃，去读的话还是得做不少牺牲的。大家说说。 |

发帖数: 195 | 42 to take the patent bar, you need a greencard, or an H1-B sponsored by a law
firm that prosecutes patents.
you can first get hired as a technical writer by a law firm, then take the
patent bar (and the state bar if you desire), and start from there.
or, a less risky approach is, get a technical writer job at a patent firm
first, without going to law school, and then decide if you want to go to law
school to pursue it further.

发帖数: 53 | 45 Just curious. How many US states have actually adopted the Model Penal Code?
off
. I know Chinese government tries to modify its criminal law statute according
to American Model Penal Code. They need someone specialized in this field.
Besides, unlike many other practice fields where common law takes a huge chunk
, criminal law is mainly about statutes and not that much on case laws. |

asked a critical question.
(1) More imporatntly, can PRC citizens who graduate from law schools in US
contribute to anything to China? I mean, US practices common law, whereas
China, in my belief, civil law (as Taiwan).
(2) Isn't it beter, carer-wise, for a PRC citizen who intends to return to
China, to get an advanced law degree wihin China (if an advanced degree is
what he wants)? Mr. Ma Ying-jeou get a SJD from H |

发帖数: 3888 | 47 Since there's so much debate, here's my 2 cents:
There are 2 factors affecting performance on any task in life, including law
. 1. hard work. 2. intelligence. In the case of law, Factor #2 is not your
general IQ, but specifically your natural aptitude for law.
Obviously, you have more control over Factor #1. If you work hard enough,
you can expect to make top 50% at a law school that was willing to admit you
. This is the first factor.
But there is no telling where you will end up within the to |

发帖数: 32 | 48 thanks for sharing your experience.
considering how tough it is in law school and big law firms, i'm almost
tempted to have my first child now when i'm still in grad school so that the
child would be 1 yr old when i enter law school in 20009. with the help of
my husband, parents and in-laws (they are here), i guess i might be able to
handle L1. not sure though.
insiders, please, give me more suggestions. many thanks!!! |

发帖数: 29 | 49 想找 scientific advisor 或者 technical specialist 之类的 position,
理科 PhD, 没有 law school degree, 没考 bar, 也没 law 方面的经验。
找各个 firm, 有的把 opening 分类， law students, laterals,
professional staff, associates 等等之类。我知道 law students 里面
的 openings 就不用看了，还有什么 attorny 之类的我觉得也是要有学位
外加 bar 的。通常这种 technical specialist 都是归到哪一类里面的呢？
问题很 naive, 但是真的是看得一头雾水， 特别是 laterals， 是不是法律
上有特定的界定，和 attorny 类似，还是一个比较 flexible 的称呼呢？ |
