What procedures do most law firms follow regarding the filing system? Why is a filing system important and what type of files are in a typical law firm?
This question was a discussion question and could not find in my book and could not find on the internet. I am studying to be a paralegal, any help would be great.

Is patent law saturated? How competitive is the field?Should I work for a corporation or law firm for entry?
Filed Under Corporations | Comments Off
I have a BSEE from great school and MSEE from a good school. I am currently working as an engineer at a large corporation. I am interested in going to law school part time to become a patent lawyer. I’m fascinated with new technologies, I’m an above average writer, and I am growing weary of corporate life of an engineer. Is patent law a good field? How hard is it to get a job? What type of hours would one typically work?
Thanks!

What law is it that allows you to retire after 17 years in the military?
Filed Under Military | Comments Off
I’ve seen people retire after 17 years due to things like PRT failures and they always say it’s a law that you can’t get kicked out unless you do something illegal once you hit 17. It makes sense to me because if the military could get away with it they would kick everyone out after 19 and 364 days to save money. Can someone please give me the law or instruction number? I can’t find it anywhere.

How does common law apply to trademarks used on websites intended for nationwide commerce?
Filed Under Small Business | Comments Off
I understand that common law can protect a trademark in a limited geographical area. The area would be the locality that the business operates in. However, if a trademark is used on an Internet website that was designed to solicit business anywhere, does common law extend to everywhere the website can be viewed?

What’s the law regarding labeling a varietal wine and possible additives of cheaper grape juices into it?
Filed Under Beer, Wine & Spirits | 3 Comments
Some varieties taste suspiciously like concord grape juice. I’m sure there must be a law regarding the content and percentage permitted for a wine to allow secondary grape juices or cheaper additives to be mixed into the final wine.
But, on the label, I see no list of ingredients such as on beer. So, it could be 51% of what the label states and 49% of something cheaper, possibly, maybe?
I answer one poster’s question, not wanting to file suit, but just wanting to know what I’m buying.
The largest winery in the south is in Arkansas. I’m not going to give their URL as they’ve degraded.
I remember when they produced the native Arkansas wine from the Niagra grape and now it’s basically some part niagra and some mostly cheaper concord.
The laws should be changed to state what percentage is in the bottle, water, suger, which grape variety, etc. That’s my point and question.
