Also, can you remind me what law you guys practice there?

Lulz. Google is your friend!

Or, you know, my BUSINESS CARD.

Pff, details!

:)

You want to apply to practice law at the firm, but don't even know what they practice?

Epic Fail.

All law is the same, and all lawyers practice it. It's a lot like medicine that way.

Uh huh. IP law is exactly like criminal law! (Don't you actually have to take a separate bar exam if you want to practice IP?)

If you want to practice before the US Patent & Trademark Office, yep. The US Tax Court and US military law tribunals also require separate bars.

*snort*

I thought they were teaching all the kids how to use The Google these days.

Man.

If he even needs Google. The business card says "Intellectual Property Attorneys" right next to the firm name and website.

Clearly, that's the kind of attention to detail that would allow him to shine as an intellectual property attorney.

That's some serious slackin' there, dude.

lawlz!

So many possible answers. I'd settle for "Murphy's."

no, no! godwin's!

And how are you going to respond?

I already did, but it was boring:

"Hi xxxx, it's good to hear from you again, and I certainly remember our conversation. I recall that you were primarily interested in tax and elder law, so if you arranged your courses to study those disciplines, I should remind you that we are exclusively an intellectual property law firm. If you are interested in our firm, please forward your resume directly to [our recruiting address] along with a cover letter, and let me know so I can alert our team to expect it. In any case, congratulations on beginning your final year of law school!"

OH MY GOD.

wow. this is pathetic.
you should repost this on lawstudents as "how NOT to try and curry yourself an interview"

oh hey, btw Tim, i have some 3L friends that are looking for jobs, wanna get them interviews too? of course they don't want to do IP work, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?? ;-)

Hi Tim,

Not sure if you remember, but I guess I met you once. I seem to have this business card... Well, anyway, I need a job. And I'm really desperate. Did I mention I have a C- average in law school? Also, I can't read. Wanna hire me???? Please??? I'll buy you a beer! Just, please email me a picture, because I don't seem to remember what you look like.

Kthnxbye.
