watergate investigation (she was a member of the committee), they talked about
what each person wanted to do after that, because the group was dismissed.
Hilary said she wanted to be a trial attorney. The senior associate (probably
the head of the group) said it was impossible, because Hilary could not have a

发帖数: 49 | 5 Well, I am not a lawyer, neither as I a professor, but I do find the discussion
here interesting. I guess nobody earns his or her bread free. The higher the
payment, the more effort you need to put into it, and the harder the competition
along the way becomes. No short cut if you are not born rich and prestigous. |

发帖数: 240 | 6 Actually 5 years may be more accurate, since largest number of Chinese

Another way to estimate is to use the number provided by Xiaohuoguo, 5 in a
club in Boston. Suppose total number in Boston is less than 10, and there are
9 other cities comparable to Boston in this matter in US, that makes 100
Chinese IP lawyers in US. My class will contribute to a 3% increase!?!

发帖数: 195 | 9 Urban legend. But just as an intellectual exercise, let's pick the story's
legal flaws, since many of us are killing ourselves now with the bar prep:
1) Insurance companies have some of the shrewdest lawyers, they would never
let something like that slip through.
2) Arson requires burning of a building, destroying personal properties is not
arson.
3) No judge would issue a ruling like that.
Now, for some real story: |

The difference is that the term attorney is used in narrower way - somebody
legally empowered to represent another person, whereas the term lawyer can
be used more broadly to refer to anyone that can give legal advice and has
been trained in the law. |

发帖数: 86 | 13 as busy as big law firm lawyers are, they still have certain control over
their schedule, all depending on how they prioritize their professional
ambition and different things in their personal lives.
I'd say unless he's got a big deal to close every other week or a major
motion due every week or he's on trial, he should have more time - but may
not for you. |

发帖数: 496 | 14 Are you sure he seems you as his date? Even if he is very very busy in a
big law firm, he should still have time to call you or setup a coffee break
or happy hour somewhere.
On the flip side, how did you make yourself available to him? If he gets
off work at 3am in the morning, will he be able to see you?
The relationship needs understanding and compromise from both sides. But if
this is real, it'll work out. It is not true that big law firm lawyers can
't have a loving relationship. |

发帖数: 1757 | 19 If you plan to go back to China at some point in the future, patent lawyer
definitely pays more than a bench scientist.
If you plan to stay here, worst case (paywise) is in-house which probably
pays equal to, if not more than, a group leader. I don't think you would
have much to lose in this pursuit, as long as you are willing to put in a
few years of hard work. |

发帖数: 3888 | 21 Yes, patent prosecution is boring as hell. You file a lot of patent
applications/office actions. The more interesting stuff, like strategic
consulting, is handled by the partners.
But there is an upside. Patent prosecution, like tax, is a niche field. It
offers relatively higher job security because not every lawyer has a science
background. Also it remains largely unaffected by the economic cycle. |

发帖数: 518 | 22 难道你一年不做engineer以前的skill都没有了？
其实做tech spec你什么时候都可以转，Bio/Chem领域竞争激烈些。因为虽然做Bio/
Chem的opening也不少，但是想转的人更多。EE说实话
想转行去做这个的多半是喜欢走这条career track，觉得以后做attorney比做engineer
更high profile。当然收入也高一些，但是hourly pay得角度来说则并不高多少，至少
比Bio那边的相对差距小得多。所以EE领域做patent lawyer供求关系明显缓和的多。
另外，只要你到时候舍得转，多迟也不算迟。我去面试见到一个牛校PhD毕业以后在IBM
干了四年，Johnson&Johnson友工作了3年，还在一个National Lab干了三年现在转来做
Tech Specialist。他直言不讳的说他的hourly pay少了一半，但他就是想换个career。
我只是想说，这事情来来去去没那么难。当然了，你要有了GC就更好了，转来转去不用
担心中间H-1B的gap啥的。 |

The National Law Journal says that the total number of lawyers working at
the top 250 US law firms dropped by 5,259 in 2009, the largest reduction
since the Journal began tracking law firm census figures three decades ago.
It's as if "two firms the size of Jones Day vanished in 2009," the
publication notes, and the layoffs eliminate nearly one-third of law firms'
growth in the last five years.

做了一些调查，发现国内不少这方面的公司都要求国内的律师注册资格还有专利代理资

查到的很多是国内所，不是外所，想问问本版有有经验的前辈有没有人回国找到相应职
位的，需不需要再考点国内资格之类。
另外就是薪酬问题，想问问国内的专利律师和美国的薪酬差别有多少。
