I posted about bacon beer, but not sure if it was here elsewhere. Is there a baconboard?

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Yes. Google bacon of the month.

I'm not an IP lawyer, but how the fuck does a federal judge get off saying that "credibility is the most important issue" in a copyright case?

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Any info on bacon beer?

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

a year ago I got a membership gift from my oldest child. I believe i posted about it then bought it as a gift for my true true match.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

copying is a required element of infringement and always denied? is this a test?

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

I never received that gift, wtf!?!?!? :confused:

Head hunters
 

Anyone have recommendations?

Re: Head hunters
 

Avoid them? They're paid by the employer, and may be more interested in getting you placed than in good long-term fit. Their long-term relationships with specific firms and companies will narrow the range of options presented to you in ways you won't perceive.

At least, that's my bias. YMMV.

Re: Head hunters
 

Here or there there are decent ones. I know of one in Seattle. Adder, want to move to seattle? We could hang out, platonically, nttawwt, and drink Gouden Carolous.

Re: Head hunters
 

There's some truth to this, but....

If you know the market that you are looking in, HHs probably aren't worth it. If you don't know the market (either because you are moving or because you are looking for a different type of job), then a HH can be helpful in identifying places to apply and places that have openings. I would never have found my current job without calling an HH, lo those many years ago.

Re: Head hunters
 

In the absence of already knowing the answer, you should look for a headhunter who seems focused on an area you are interested in. Don't get someone with a strong network in the mutual fund industry if your expertise is in slip and fall litigation.

I used a headhunter twice in my career. The first time, there was a guy in my then-current area of expertise who was pretty much the guy, and I told him I'd work just with him for three months. He did a great job by me and we're still friends. Another time, I was part of a group looking to move from a cratering firm, and the BSD in the crowd (I was just the LSD at the time) pulled in a headhunter he had worked with, who was a completely useless lying son of bitch who almost screwed up the deal and who got paid an enormous amount of money for being wholly unhelpful. Generally, the second guy had the bigger reputation in town. So, YMMV and recommendations may not be useful.

Re: Head hunters
 

To be frank, no offence, HH or no, I am not sure how Adder seals the deal on a job search in this market (unless he has a huge book, which I am guessing from his time here, not) if he can't even get a date with the paralegal. I'd start small and work my way up.

Re: Head hunters
 

I personally think he'd be best off going solo - maybe he could hire the paralegal? Work out of his apartment? It has possibilities.

Re: Head hunters
 

lots of firms won't talk to one for lower level attorneys because the fees make the total comp cost too much. so he might be complicating his search with the "help."

if only he's listened to me and was now banging the paralegal. then, he could offer the hiring partner a little head bob from her, if the guy then hired adder. que sera.
