The only unknown is whether he'll type the stalker-posts with his right hand or his left.
Just wait for the next late night drinking binge. Then you'll be a full-fledged member of the club.

I can name a dozen top civil lawyers in the SF area, and a few in other regions, who spent many years as prosecutors or public defenders. I know many other younger lawyers who spent a few years in criminal law, including me, who then went on to civil firms.

Good for you.

Maybe you're right. I only know IP people and they don't tend to go that way.]

Ever hear of John Keker?

Most of the former criminal lawyers I was thinking of are in IP, though some are in securities and related fields.

IP people do go that way here; maybe it's because there have been aggressive IP/tech crime prosecutors in the Bay Area and so it's a relatively easy jump. But I suspect if you looked in other areas, and focused on firms that do IP litigation and that try a lot of cases, you would find a lot of others.

Keker's bio -- t.s.

Boy was my evening dreary and lonely, and boy was the Haagen Daz cold and runny. Much more of this and I will be carrying twins.

This hurts my feelings. I have never been anything but polite to you, especially this year. The thing you keep remembering is that Atticus is convinced you are a guy. I brought that up once and ever since you keep attacking me. You have a cutting wit and a very pronounced mean streak. The fact that you are more clever than I in your posts so that you win flame wars with me does not mean that I am drunk or stupid. Perhaps it only means I am a bit too classy to engage in the fight.

If (s)he is cleverer, you are stupid. Drunk wouldn't begin to cover it.

So you're saying you were sober during the late night rant? This scares me more than a little.

eta I'm the mean one? I have never called anyone any names. I hate the name calling. And yet I've been called many many hurtful things. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I persist in believing you are NotFromVenus, but that is not a hurtful thing. If you find it to be hurtful, I dub thee NotFromLawschool.

Yeah, but you've got to speak to him in the language he understands. Stick to 2 syllables, max. Preferably with large, easy to read type.
