      When you've been defending your clients from a case for almost seven years(!!!) and then the judge says words to the effect of "the claims were always speculative and should never have been brought" in his summing up, it feels fucking great.

      Congratulations, I know the feeling all too well. In which fields did you specialise? IT/IP here.

      I’m a commercial litigation generalist, but with a focus on doing the discovery. So these guys really wound me up a year or so ago because they were trying to plug holes in their case by casting as wide a net as they could over our documents, asking me endlessly to include more keywords, or increase the date ranges for searches, or go collect data from some other device.

      Take the dive...

        @tody @EdH he also specialises in jokes. And now he's a parent, can move in to the field of 'Dad jokes' full time.

        The devil is in the detail..

            This morning, I turned in my last assignment for my last master's degree class. I majored in Master of Arts in Education/Curriculum and Instruction. I currently have a 3.96 GPA and a 99.5% in my latest class. I turned in all of my assignments a week early so I will not get my final grades for my final class until sometime next week. Feels good 🙂

                          Thank you fellas. I enjoy learning and would love to continue my education for my doctorate. Do not have the funds though and still in debt for my bachelors...

                                @Nik did you choose to dig deeper into debt? Or are you fortunate enough to pay for it upfront? ... scholarship?

                                  A mix. I got funding for most of it, worked during, but also took out more student debt. Glad I did. Being able to do that research has fulfilled my life beyond any price.

                                          Sure, just google the one year long performances by Tehching Hsieh or the still-going 2007 name change piece by Janez Janša, Janez Janša, and Janez Janša and you’ll get the idea. When I graduated the head of department (who was neither Taiwanese nor Slovenian) had to read out those names in the title and she was not happy with me.
