$160,000 Law

This is an advertisement for a future story that will be offered as an ebook through Amazon.com.

Born and bred in downtown Detroit, young Dan Seville was the first in his family to graduate not only college but law school as well.  He found that he had a "knack" for taking law school exams and got into what one may call a "V-10" law firm right upon graduating from Cooley Law School.

Dan Seville rocked during final exams.  His typing skills allowed him to ignite that keyboard and churn out law after law.  He had a memory that was impeccable.  He not only memorized every single law that was required, vertabim, but he knew the case names as if they were his best friends.  When the exam sat in front of him, he did not waste time outlining.  No sir.  Cocky Dan Seville just pounded on the keyboard.

He had a strategy.   Type loud so that the others would be distracted.  Pound those keys!  He rolled his fists against the keyboard, ejaculating legal knowledge.  His professors would be impressed.  He knew that after his first year at Cooley he would be in the top of his class.


And he was.

Fast forward five years.  Dan Seville is a power attorney working the streets of New York, NY.  He has everything he ever wanted as a virtue of law school.  It does not matter that he graduated from a low ranked law school.  Instead of transferring, Dan Seville capitalized his rank at his school to thrust his way into both moot court and law review.  And he continued to become a bastion of legal knowledge.

Now as a power attorney he brings in wealth like no other.  He does not let anything stop him. 

$160,000 a year (plus a hefty bonus) was more than he had ever earned at any other time in his life.  In fact, Dan Seville got through undergrad without even owning a car.  In Detroit!  Can you honestly believe that?  Yet now he drives a Lotus.  A Lotus!  Talk about Cocky! 


His family is, undeniably proud of the up and coming attorney.  In fact, some of his siblings who have not done quite so well with their own lives have latched on to the young man, asking for some financial favors.  Dan Seville always obliges, but he makes sure that he gets a hefty "thank you" in return.  Sometimes they grovel at his feet as he writes out a check in his fanciest handwriting.  However, his handwriting has taken a beating as he has replaced the pen with the computer. 

A big case is brewing.  A multinational case has just landed on Dan's desk.  He has never been confronted with a case of such calibur.  This case promises to be tricky in every respect of the word.  In fact, Dan Seville knows that if he can win this one he can lateral to any firm in the country.  He has his eye on a law firm in Los Angeles that offers him the chance to live on the California coast in the fine city of Malibu.  Dan always heard great things about Southern California from the Cooley kids, many of whom hailed from the Golden State.

Dan Seville opens the folder and begins looking at the case.  It's an international-animal-intellectual property battle between a massive dog food manufacturer in the United States against a European cat food company that is using the same font style and background image on its pet food products!  Now Dan knows that he will have to use that three credit course in EU law he took as well as his knowledge on IP law.

But who will get Jurisdiction?  Oh yes, so many questions.  All Dan can think about now is that California sunshine and a chance to shape the internatinonal animal IP law landscape forever.  This case WILL end up in the textbooks, no matter what the result.
