Outward forms exactly project or portray inward feelings' (Tanner: 84).
According to Tanner, it was a society which "forced people to be at once very sociable and very private." (Tanner: 88) Society within the world of Sense and Sensibility is one of balls and parties, invitations and picnics. A world were ladies where asked if they could have a private audience in advance, which meant that a marriage was to be proposed. All ladies were expected to behave in a certain manner that complied with society's rules and expectations. Their thoughts and mannerisms should be similar and it was not expected that any woman should stray away from these. Elinor and Marianne are in fact complete opposites in their ideas, thoughts, feelings and actions.
Marianne, as Tanner suggests "demands that outward forms exactly project or portray inward feelings." (Tanner: 84) This means that whatever is said or done is exactly what the person is thinking of saying and doing. Marianne's behaviour does show this, as she isn't able to speak politely if she doesn't deem it necessary. It is almost as if she defying and going against what society wants from her. Elinor withdraws herself from society in order to reflect. It is Marianne who draws on this stark contrast by stating "Our situations then are alike. We have neither of us anything to tell; you, because you do not communicate, and I, because I conceal nothing." (Austen: 163)
During the eighteenth – century when expressing emotions in the correct manner and being sensible to the beauty of nature and literature were seen as virtues, Austen was writing a novel to support sense and moderation. Elinor and Marianne are representative of these two opposing views. Throughout the novel, sensibility is mocked, whereas sense is highly commended. By the end of the novel, sense is triumphant as Marianne makes a practical match for marriage in Colonel Brandon, not based on love, but for respect, friendship and security. Elinor marries Edward for love.
Marianne is criticized for her excessiveness of emotions which have no moderation. This is shown in her excessiveness of her requirements for a marriage suitor: "I could not be happy with a man whose tastes did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter into all of my feelings; the same books, the same music must charm us both" (Austen: 15). Marianne does not, like Elinor, appreciate Edward for his moral virtues, but cares foremost about his sentiments; in her opinion, he does not read with proper emotion. Jane Austen may have used this idea as
Romanticism is concerned with involving the imagination. This imagination allows a person to inhabit new worlds but without parameters. Marianne feels that Edward's lack of imagination through his reading means that he has very little imagination and therefore his ideas of love are very different.
Marianne's emotion and willingness not to conceal anything but making her feelings heard make society extremely trivial for her. It is almost as if it is a game which she will not play to the rules. "What a sweet woman Lady Middleton is", said Lucy Steele. Marianne was silent; it was impossible for her to say what she did not feel, however trivial the occasion; and upon Elinor, therefore, the whole task of telling lies when politeness required it always fell.' (Austen: 118) It is Elinor who plays' to the rules of society and covers up for Marianne.
It is ironic that Elinor is very good at screen painting, for it is she "who is always trying to smooth and harmonise potentially abrasive and discordant occasions" (Tanner: 85) When her art is insulted by Mrs. Ferrars, Marianne refuses to screen' her anger and goes on to tell Mrs. Ferrars of her contempt for such malicious manners'. Elinor represents the characteristics associated with eighteenth century neo classicism, including rationality, insight, judgment, moderation and balance. She never loses sight of propriety, economic practicalities and perspective as when she reminds Marianne that they could no longer afford a horse or that it was inappropriate for her to go alone with Willoughby to Allenham. In contrast, Marianne represents the qualities of embracing romance, imagination, idealism, excess and a dedication to beauty and nature.
Frankenstein also shows that the idea of "outward forms exactly project or portray inward feelings" extremely well. Like Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility, Viktor and the monster are opposites. Frankenstein is more like Marianne in the way that he gives no thought to the consequences of his actions, and the monster being in some ways rather similar to Elinor as trying to live a virtuous life.
It was from his childhood that Victor's compulsion to explore nature and science began. He had a great yearning for books written by the great scientists such as Agrippa, Magnus and Paracelsus, "Here were men who had penetrated deeper and knew more. I took their word for all that they averred, and I became their disciple." (Shelley: 38) If it weren't for these books,
which were only read because of a flash of lightning, Victor would never have had a passion for science and would not have created the being in this novel, which means that the entire purpose of the novel can be traced back to a single bolt of lightning a marvel of nature to young Frankenstein's eyes. This part of the book shows Victor's enthusiasm for what is still merely a harmless game, "I had gazed upon the fortifications and impediments that seemed to keep human beings from entering the citadel of nature, and rashly and ignorantly I had repined." (Shelley: 38) It is preparing the reader for what is to come, but the sheer volume of Victor's interest is unstoppable.
Victor is socially reckless, obstinate and extreme in his actions throughout the novel's plot. His carelessness shows through many times in his feelings towards his creation. Whilst in the process of making his creation, Frankenstein is so caught up with it and his yearning to be remembered for ever as a great scientist he does not stop to think what may happen once his creation is alive. He is consumed by his ambition that he goes for days without food and sleep, and his family is neglected. Once his creation his alive, he refuses to accept his responsibility of being the creator to his creation. He wants nothing to do with it, and is truly disturbed by its appearance. Frankenstein was "unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bedroom chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep" (Shelley: 60).
Frankenstein has different opinions at different points in the novel regarding the monster. At the beginning, he lives for the monster, he only cares about it and forgets everyone around him and everything that he had before. His creation is anatomically correct and his obsession to create a perfect being, meant that every part of the creation was perfect. This concentration in making the monster live is direct contrast to his later wish to kill the beast. He travels with the sole purpose of hunting and slaying the creature once again depriving himself of food and sleep. The idea of wandering is extremely significant. It is as if Frankenstein is punishing himself and excluding himself from society because pf what he has done. The creature also wanders, he is an outcast from society and his wandering shows this. However, his wandering makes him human and therefore, the reader feels as sorry for him.
While his creator,
Victor Frankenstein, shrouded himself in secrecy to avoid his fellow scientists, family and friends, the Monster drifted toward civilization to find comfort and fellow feeling. However much he wanted to have and to be a friend, community was unimaginable. His hideous disfigurement obliged the Monster to live as a clandestine observer of humanity. The monster actually has rationale behind his thinking. The creation knows nothing when he is first created and learns how to walk, talk, read and write on a very short space of time. His kindness is indicated by the supplying of wood to the De Lacey family, it seems as though he feels obligated to help the family as he is using their house as a shelter. He stops taking their food when he sees that it causes them to suffer.
Victor is no saintly scientist in his attempt to dodge responsibility for his creation. Never learning self-criticism, Victor believes that the Monster is an ill-fortuned mistake and not a reflection of his own character or misjudgement. Confirming his lack of reflection, he dies saying: "During these last days I have been occupied in examining my past conduct; nor do I find it blameable…." The creator shares the same rhetorical eloquence as his creature. In relinquishing responsibility for their personal choices monster and man become monsters at the margin.
Victor hides away from society and screens his mistake, much like how Elinor screens occasions that are deemed unacceptable. William Godwin, Shelley's father, may have had some input into the novel. He was a utilitarian and his moral theory can be said to have played an influential part in the history of the utilitarian ideal. Godwin argued that the government was a corrupting force in society, perpetuating dependence and ignorance but that it would be rendered unnecessary and powerless by the spread of knowledge. Godwin realised that society was being exploited by the capitalist state, and part of his ideal, was that those who earned more money than they needed to live in comfort, should share the extra that they have with people less fortunate than themselves.
The society that deems the creature a monster in Frankenstein are very much like Marianne, they make their emotions known by screaming and running away. The monsters were simple, in harmony with nature, it was not until his encounter with a society which held nature in reverence and saw the grotesque as unnatural. "I arrived at a village . . . But I had hardly placed my
foot within the door before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted . . . The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped to the open country"(Shelley: 119).
The feelings of a person within the society that engulfed the characters within the two novels Sense and Sensibility and Frankenstein was to be very sociable and very private. Elinor and Marianne are two extremes of this as are Viktor and the monster. Elinor is very private to the point where she does not express herself at all, Viktor is almost the same but he locks himself away and his outward forms of his inward feelings is his creation. Ironically, his creation wants to portray his inward feelings but cannot do so because of his appearance.

Employer Research Guide
Which describes your research need?
- I WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE LAW IN A PARTICULAR KIND OF SETTING (LOCATION, CULTURE, SIZE, COMPENSATION, DIVERSITY, PRO BONO POLICY TYPE OF CLIENT (including in-house counsel)) AND WOULD LIKE TO RESEARCH EMPLOYERS ACCORDING TO ONE OR MORE OF THESE CRITERIA.
One way to start figuring out what type of practice might suit you is to review an inventory of legal specialties. Here is a fairly comprehensive list, with links to related resources.
The Official Guide to Legal Specialties: An Insider's Guide to Every Major Practice Area, (Lisa L. Abrams, 2000), published by The National Association of Legal Career Professionals (NALP), is based on interviews with lawyers in thirty practice areas (most, but not all, in the private sector) who enjoy their work. It contains attorney profiles and other information, including a great deal of data, about career tracks. The book is available at the CDO and online through NALP and Amazon.
Vault.com, a subscription-based service available to Boalt students through a portal on the CDO web site, provides access to Vault Industry & Career Guidebooks. Some of the guides are devoted to major legal specialties, including corporate law, litigation, labor and employment, bankruptcy and tax law. Vault's Career Resource Center contains "day in the life" descriptions of attorneys in various jobs.
Chambers Associate, a UK-based research company, has good summaries of over 20 major practice areas.
NALP, the Association for Legal Career Professionals, maintains a website with extensive career planning information for law students, including information about hiring trends in the legal employment market, and links to additional resources that may be helpful to career searches. NALP also makes its employer member directory available online. The NALP Directory allows searches by practice area, geographic area, by organizations that hire 1Ls or LLMs, comparison charts, and creation of mail merge lists. (Note that NALP members are, generally speaking, large firms which come to law school campuses to recruit.) NALP also publishes annual "Perspectives" on the most recruiting season, with analysis and breakdowns by regions and "outcomes" (offers and acceptances). Here is the most recent Perspective (Fall 2011).
The CDO's web site maintains, and regularly updates, resources on various types of legal employment. There are pages on Public Interest Careers, Public Service (Government) Careers, Judicial Clerkships, International Careers, and Academic Careers. In the private sector, there are pages dedicated to small and medium firms. Here is a link to the CDO's page on alternative legal careers.
Vault, a subscription-based service available to Boalt students through the CDO web site, provides access to Vault Industry & Career Guidebooks. Some of the guides are devoted to major legal specialties, including corporate law, litigation, labor and employment, bankruptcy and tax law.
The ABA makes many of its practice-specific member groups available to students, most of them for free.
Heiros Gamos, an international legal web site, has an extensive list of legal specialties and sub-specialties with numerous links to related resources (articles, legal authorities, specialty legal associations).
The FindLaw Professional Development Center includes links for many practice areas, with articles about current developments.
There is a professional association for almost every legal specialty; scanning newsletters and similar resources aimed at particular practice areas will give you a sense of the issues confronted by practitioners within that specialty. The ABA and law.com web sites, among others, provide many links and search possibilities to locate specialty practice information.
Chambers Associate, a UK-based research company, has good summaries of over 20 major practice areas.
Most databases of law firms include legal specialty as a search term. Always consider the source of the data. Some legal sites include only paid participants; others include only members of the sponsoring organization.
Martindale-Hubbell is the traditional directory of all attorneys in the U.S. The online version is an extensive database of attorneys, searchable by practice area as well as other criteria. It is the best general resource for finding smaller and mid-size firms. A version of the same database, with more flexible search terms, is available through LexisNexis.
The NALP directory is a searchable database which provides copious information on legal employers. It will generate a list of firms from geographic and practice area criteria. (It also has a mail merge capacity for sending resumes and cover letters to firms on the list you generate.)
The Chambers USA Guide to the Legal Profession sorts attorneys and firms in various practice areas into tiers or "bands" and includes research-based commentary about different employers, including information about practice areas.
Westlaw has a database called "Profiler" which allows you to search for attorneys by practice area as well as geographically.
Rankings and Awards
In a few major practice areas, firms are ranked for their prestige and accomplishments. The most prominent law firms appear in various rankings, usually updated annually.
Vault, accessible through the CDO website, offers rankings of firms in various specialties.
Law.com makes available many lists, rankings and surveys, including the preeminent American Lawyer rankings of the "AmLaw 100" and others. You must register with law.com to access some of the rankings, but it is free of charge. Click on "Surveys and Rankings" on the left sidebar menu. Alternatively, go through the American Lawyer website, which also requires registration (free).
Martindale.com has various "Top Ten" lists.
Chambers Associate profiles prominent firms, detailing aspects of associate life, based on telephone interviews with junior attorneys.
Chambers and Partners assesses top law firms and lawyers in the U.S. (as well as internationally) in various practice specialties.
Legal500.com, a UK-based research group, independently ranks firms in the US (as well as other global regions) in a wide range of practice areas.
Numerous local and specialized publications award various titles to firms and lawyers (e.g., "Mergerstat ranked the Firm among the 16 Top Advisors for the Drugs, Medical Supplies & Equipment Industry"). If you are interested in a particular award, you can Google it; if you are researching a firm, you will surely find all such awards among its promotional materials.
LawFuel.com collects press releases announcing various awards received by firms and attorneys.
Superlawyers designates "outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas." Its lists are searchable.
Researching specific firms will enable you to refine lists of employers you are interested in, prepare effectively for interviews, and make an informed choice if you find yourself deciding among different offers. Just about every law firm has a web site, which will tell you all the essentials about numbers of attorneys, types of practice, and other basic information, as well as including any special recognition bestowed on the firm or its attorneys. Firms with summer associate programs may include information about these programs on their web sites. While collecting and presenting information about the largest and most prominent law firms is a thriving business (e.g., the Vault guides; law.com; American Lawyer; Chambers and Partners, Career Center), it is more difficult to find independent information about smaller firms.
A basic search on Google or another search engine, for a firm or an attorney (include a geographic term and/or "attorney" or "lawyer") can be revealing; consider narrowing your search with another relevant term (e.g., "patent," "mediation," or the name of a client or case). You can also search the news content of Law.com for stories about firms and attorneys.
Martindale Hubbell, the traditional directory of all attorneys, has an online database (searchable for firms and for individual attorneys) which will yield basic information about an attorney, such as law school and year of admission to the bar as well as where he or she works. The version in Martindale available through LexisNexis has more flexible search terms.
The State Bar of California has an "Attorney Search" function which will yield an attorney's education, business address, date of admission to the bar, and whether he/she has a disciplinary record with the Bar. Other state bar organizations may make similar information available.
Thomson Legal Record combines an attorney's litigation history on Westlaw with the attorney's profile on FindLaw. You can obtain an attorney's recent reported cases and federal docket filings with links to full-text documents on Westlaw, alongside a detailed professional profile including an attorney's litigation history. It requires registration, which is free. Westlaw has a database called "Profiler" which allows you to see dockets, pleadings and the like on which a certain attorney's name appears. (Note that while it can be impressive in an interview to cite a case which an attorney worked on, be alert to possible later case history which does not reflect favorably on your interviewer!)
When trying to find out about the less quantifiable aspects of a firm (its "culture"), try to use some sources which don't come directly from the firm. Feedback from associates is one of the best unofficial sources of information on law firms. Summaries of survey responses by Boalt students who worked at firms in prior summers (starting with summer 2005) can be found on the b-Line. Click on "Profile" on the main menu, then on the "Evaluations" tab, and then on the "Search" tab.
The NALP directory is a searchable database which provides copious information on legal employers, based on questionnaires which the members must submit annually.
Blogs are now a significant force in the legal landscape, and have become a popular source of information about legal employers. Currently dominating the legal blog scene, Above the Law tracks facts (as well as gossip, irreverent commentary and sheer speculation) about many legal employers. Firms are known to release breaking news directly to ATL, in order to "manage the message." Its content is searchable by employer name.
Career Center, a venture of Above the Law and Lateral Link, provides research-based information about many firms, and allows side-by-side comparisons.
Chambers and Partners, an international source of information about law firms, has a companion site for prospective employees, Chambers Associate, with independently researched data and commentary by insiders.
If you are researching a major firm, it probably appears in various rankings, which often include commentary and analysis by the compilers, both about trends and sectors of the legal market, and about individual lawyers and firms. The main rankings are:
∙ Chambers and Partners, which ranks top law firms and lawyers in the US and elsewhere in various practice specialties. Chambers does independent research, reflected in their editorials.
∙ Vault.com, a subscription-based service available to Boalt students through the CDO web site. Firms are ranked for, among other things, partner prestige, diversity, and quality of life.
∙ Law.com contains many lists, rankings and surveys, including the preeminent American Lawyer's annual "AmLaw 100" rankings and many others, including associate and summer associate surveys.
I WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE LAW IN A PARTICULAR KIND OF SETTING (LOCATION, CULTURE, SIZE, COMPENSATION, DIVERSITY, PRO BONO POLICY TYPE OF CLIENT (including in-house counsel)) AND WOULD LIKE TO RESEARCH EMPLOYERS ACCORDING TO ONE OR MORE OF THESE CRITERIA.
Most, if not all, of the online law firm data bases (such as the NALP directory and Martindale) allow you to include geography as a search term. Law firms with offices in multiple locations always list them on their web sites. The Vault Guides (which must be accessed through the CDO's link, otherwise there is a fee) include several regional directories of major urban areas, and regional rankings of firms. Chambers Associate includes convenient maps showing firms' office locations.
For job searches focused on a particular location, and especially if you are interested in smaller firms, bar organizations in the state or city in which you are interested in working are a good starting point. You might try the web sites of law schools near where you are interested in working; they may direct you to local resources. Many areas have local resources listing local attorneys (for example, www.atlantalawyerdirectory.com). Here are some links to regional bar associations:
Los Angeles County Bar Association
Many online law firm databases (such as the NALP directory and Martindale.com) allow you to include number of attorneys (within a range) as a search term. If you have a certain firm or firms in mind, their web site(s) will include information about the number of attorneys at a firm. The largest law firms appear in numerous comparisons and rankings, such as Vault (accessible through the CDO website), Chambers and Partners and American Lawyer, which will include the size of the firms.
The National Law Journal compiles an annual list of the 350 (previously only the top 250) largest US law firms, based on attorney headcount alone. Here is a link to the 2012 list.
If you know you want to work in a smaller firm, your online search methods may have to be more indirect. You might search by geography and type of practice, then research the particular firms and attorneys you come up with to find out how many attorneys are in the firm. Martindale.com is the only database which includes smaller firms (down to solo practitioners). The version available through LexisNexis allows finer-grained searches (e.g., all firms in a region with between three and five attorneys).
Some resources, such as a firm's own website or the NALP directory offer you information about firm culture supplied by employers themselves. However, you will also want to review such "inside" information as you can. Evaluations by Boalt students of their summer experiences are available through the b-Line. Click on "Profile" on the main menu, then on the "Evaluations" tab, and then on the "Search" tab.
The Vault Guides (which may be accessed free of charge through the CDO's website) addresses these questions with their "Quality of Life" rankings and annual list of the "Best 20 Firms to Work For." Chambers Associate and Career Center also offer similar information.
The American Lawyer's Summer Associates Survey is a well-known resource which provides data about work, training, culture and quality of life, as well as overall rankings of summer programs (including results grouped by city). Here is the link to a summary of the results for 2011.
Of course, direct contact with someone working at a firm, or a firm similar to the one you are interested in, is highly useful for getting a sense of what it is like to work there. The CDO posts a listing of where recent grads are not working on our OCI web page around mid-June each year.
Be sure, in considering salary information, that you understand the firm's compensation structure (e.g., are bonuses tied to the number of hours billed?), and know that employer expectations of hours worked are as important as dollars in determining real compensation. While competition among larger law firms has led to extensive disclosure of compensation data, it may be harder to get information about smaller firms from any source other than the firm itself. You will have to balance your legitimate interest in compensation against the constraints of etiquette. Published surveys will always lag behind the latest developments.
The employer information supplied in the NALP Directory includes salary, bonus and benefits information. NALP also publishes various salary surveys, which include smaller as well as larger employers, and are available in the CDO library.
Vault, Chambers Associate and Career Center all discuss compensation in their firm profiles.
Upheavals in the profession in recent years have raised new concerns about the financial stability of law firms and their responses to economic challenges. While no one knows the future, and very few are privy to the inner workings of firms, there are some tools which can help you learn about the recent past and make educated decisions. If you are interested in law firm economics, the premier blog is by Bruce MacEwen (writing as "Adam Smith, Esq.") For more general news about the profession, Legal Pad is a blog presented by the Recorder and offers news with a California focus. The Wall Street Journal has a blog devoted to the legal profession, which naturally often looks at the business side of private practice. If you want still more legal blogs, here is a list, with links. Above the Law tracks facts (as well as gossip, irreverent commentary and sheer speculation) about many legal employers and is searchable by the name of the firm. It has information about layoffs, compensation changes and deferred start dates.
Most large law firms have a spot on their web site devoted to diversity. For the actual numbers, see the Minority Information section of an employer's NALP directory entry. NALP also has a diversity section and a list of GLBT resources. NALP also houses a list of its law firm member diversity programs, events, and initiatives, such as scholarships and fellowships.
Law.com has a site called Minority Law Journal, with various resources, including survey information about minorities in firms.
Many minority legal associations exist, which are likely to have information about firms and types of practice. Here are some national ones; in addition, there are numerous minority lawyer associations at the state and city level:
Hispanic National Bar Association
Minority Corporate Counsel Association
National Asian Pacific American Bar Association
National Association of Minority & Women
Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF)
National Bar Association (African-American legal organization)
National LGBT Bar Association
Vault.com (accessible free to students through the CDO website) provides Diversity Program Profiles on over 150 law firms. Vault also ranks the "Top 20 Law Firms for Diversity," and lists firms according to their inclusion of women, minorities, and gays, lesbians and bisexuals. A print version of the guide, Vault's Law Firm Diversity Programs, is available at the CDO.
The San Francisco Bar Association devotes a webpage to diversity issues, and includes a (mostly local) list of gay and lesbian contact information at legal employers.
Pro Bono
Firms which want to highlight recent achievements or awards in their pro bono record, often offer information about pro bono activities at their websites. Employers provide a statement of their pro bono policy as a part of their entry in the NALP Directory.
Vault.com (accessible free to Boalt students through the CDO website) includes pro bono rankings and a Guide to Law Firm Pro Bono Programs in its employer information. (A print version of Vault's Law Firm Pro Bono Programs is also available at the CDO.)
American Lawyer's "A List" ranking includes pro bono as one measure of the success of big firms.
The Pro Bono Institute calls for an institutional commitment from large law firms to target 3-5% of total billable hours as a pro bono goal. Here is a list of the Institute's members.
The Path to Pro Bono is a brochure published by The ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service. It is designed to educate law students about how to ask firms that are potential employers about their pro bono efforts and practices. It also explains why evaluating a firm's commitment to pro bono is so important.
Type of Client (including employment by the client as in-house counsel)
The type of law a firm or attorney practices is, of course, related to the type of clients they serve (for example, maritime law; education law). See the section of this document relating to legal specialties.
Law firms often provide information about representative clients at their websites and in their entries at http://www.martindale.com//.
Corporate Counsel magazine has an annual survey of firms representing the biggest U.S. companies.
Some of the major legal web sites have resources aimed specifically at in-house counsel. Law.com has a sizeable area dedicated to in-house attorneys. See., e.g., Corporate Counsel magazine's website.
If you are interested in in-house counsel work, your search must leave the well-defined realm of law firm employers. The Association of Corporate Counsel is a central resource for in-house counsel, and includes career information. General (non-legal) job web sites may be useful for listings; define your search by using the term "attorney" "lawyer" or "counsel". If you are interested in a particular company or type of company, research them directly. Only companies of significant size employ in-house counsel; therefore information about those companies should be readily available, although information about the legal department is often difficult to obtain. As the company is the sole "client" of in-house counsel, knowledge about the business is essential for anyone looking for legal work within the company.
Inside Counsel magazine, a monthly publication for in-house attorneys, has an online edition. It has various articles, surveys and connections to resources for in-house attorneys.
Martindale-Hubbell's Lawyer Locator allows a search for in-house attorneys and legal departments.
Minority Corporate Counsel Association focuses on minority attorneys in corporate legal departments.
For job listings, start with the CDO's b-Line; these listings are targeted at Boalt students (and alumni), and thus are more likely than general ones to yield good results.
Below are legal job listing resources. The Career Development Office lists these sites as a service to Boalt students and alumni. The Law School is not responsible for the quality of the information and services they offer. (Note that many charge user fees, some of which are substantial.) If during your search you find items outdated or changed, please let a Career Development staff member know.
Many all-purpose job sites, such as Craigslist, careerbuilder, jobster, and monster.com, include legal listings, and may be especially useful for in-house counsel jobs.
Law.com, a comprehensive legal news site, includes searchable job listings.
The American Bar Association has a link to legal job listings.
Martindale Hubbell has job listings.
Lateral Link has job listings (membership required).
Westlaw has job listings for students; click on the "Careers" tab on the home page.

Splash screens for universal iOS app
I have a universal iOS app that's nearly complete but there's a problem with the splash screen.
The app is compatible with iPhone 4/4S, iPod Touch (in theory, not yet hardware tested), pre-Retina and Retina iPads.
Dynamic scaling is working fine, using the @2x and @4x suffixes for the main interface elements. The interface is identical on all devices, just dynamically scaled and positioned.
However, the different display dimensions of the iPhone and iPad are causing problems with the splash screen. I have a "Default@2x" file which is used as the splash screen on iPhone 4 (that's fine, because it's a grab of the app running on the iPhone 4), but this same screen is used by the app when it's running on a pre-Retina iPad (iPad 1 or 2).
This is a problem because it's scaled to fit the screen, so when the app starts up it's not aligned with the real interface.
Also, the @4x version of the splash screen (a grab of the app running on the iPad 3) is ignored completely when the app runs on an iPad 3, even though all the other @4x interface graphics are used properly.
So the question really is: can I specify two additional splash screens to be used for the pre-Retina and Retina iPad? If so, how?
Great question and info Tony! I think I have the same issue. Would you terribly mind sharing your build.settings file to see how you deal with all the different screen size when it relates to the splash screen?
Thank you again.
I also found this to be useful as a quick guide.
Beware of the misspelling in Landscape!
Thanks Don! That's really handy info.
PERFECT! Thanks Tony7 for sharing. very cool of you.
@Tony: This post about correct iPad splash screen / default.png file stuff saved me a lot of headache. Thanks!

An Oshkosh man will stand trial on homicide charges in connection to the overdose death of an Appleton man last summer .
Charles M. Bloesl, 36, was bound over for trial Thursday on charges of first-degree reckless homicide and delivery of heroin. Stephen P. Hidde, 44, died July 20 after he was taken to an Appleton hospital for an apparent heroin overdose. Bloesl is accused of selling the heroin to Hidde.
According to the criminal complaint, Hidde and an Appleton woman went to Bloesl's residence in the 900 block of Grand Street in Oshkosh on July 19 and purchased heroin from him. Hidde used some of the heroin before the pair returned to Appleton, but the woman noticed something was wrong with him and she took him to Appleton Medical Center, where he later died.
An autopsy determined Hidde died from a "toxicologic process specifically involving opiates."
Bloesl, who is being held on a $5,000 cash bond, is due back in court Dec. 18 for an arraignment.
If convicted of the charges, Bloesl faces a maximum of 68 years, six months in prison and $125,000 in fines.

MyGameCompany shut its doors. It makes me wonder, where you bought the game.
Post on GOL: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/mygamecompany-is-shutting-its-door...
Whish I could help but it's probably not an nVidia related problem since I use nVidia :)
GTX 550 Ti and Driver version 337.25.
My guess is that you are missing some 32-bit libs
I won't start for me with nVidia 650m.
It's not perfect on Linux but it's absolutley playable. Have mostly experienced minor graphical glitches and some painful random loadingtimes.
Its one of the few games where some of the more humble GPU cards are not even supported. So maybe the requirements are a bit steep. I've an Intel so I should probably not buy it to just find out latter that it doesn't work :(
Also... while the game has a 95% score in steam, half of the bad reviews are "the game is broken in mac..." but it doensn't (yet?) work well in Linux too. Can anyone confirm?

RAINIER BEACH – The Washington State Liquor Control Board has auctioned off the rights to apply for a spirits retail liquor license at 167 state-run liquor stores statewide, including the Rainier Beach store located at 9258 Rainier Avenue South.
According to public record, the rights to the Rainier Beach store were purchased by Aklilu Gebreyesus for $90,100.
Initiative 1183 required the liquor control board to get out of the liquor-selling business this June and auction the state store properties at their current location.
The 121 winning bidders earned the exclusive right to apply for a liquor license at the current location within its current footprint.
Because the state leases the store properties, winning bidders still need to secure a lease with the property's landlord. If winning bidders can't secure a lease, they can resell their rights or request another location within a 1-mile radius from which to sell alcohol.
The auction brought in $30.75 million total. The most expensive store went for $750,100 in Tacoma. The least expensive went for $49,600 in Spokane.

Top 5 Reasons to learn French
- More than 1,200 French companies have subsidiaries in the U.S., and France is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign investment.
- French is an official language of the European Union, and the language of the second largest trading block in the world.
- French is the second most commonly used language in communications in the United Nations.
- In many scientific fields at the graduate level, most American institutions require a reading knowledge of French or German in order for scholars to be able to conduct research. France continues to be a leader in civil engineering, medical technologies and telecommunications.
- More than 40% of English vocabulary comes from French.

The start of the new Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam season started tonight one week after the crowning of two new world champions in Las Vegas. It is hard to believe that the 2011 season is over when we are only 4 months into 2011. But that is the way our season works. It's just like College football or the NFL. They start their seasons in August but end in January the following year. We just happen to start ours earlier.I had the privilege to go straight from Vegas last week to come here to Raleigh, North Carolina for the first show to start the new road to Las Vegas. Tonight we started out with the wheelie competition as six awesome monster trucks battled for the win. Spider-Man proved to be a threat all night as Whit Tarlton took the first win of the night with a high sky wheelie scoring him a 24.
In Racing we saw the veteran John Seasock pilot The Advance Auto Parts Grinder to wins over Grave Digger to win the UTI Championship Race. Grinder defeated Digger in Round One and then went on to beat Monster Mutt Rottweiler in the semi finals. Seasock didn't stop there! He went on to defeat Grave Digger again as fast looser in the finals. Grave Digger made it to the finals with a win in the semi finals over War Wizard who also had a victory over Lil' Miss Dangerous is High Maintenance in round one. In other racing action Monster Mutt Rottweiler defeated Spider-Man for his first ever arena victory of his Young Career.
In Freestyle the action was awesome as each monster truck proved to be the number one truck to beat in this contest. 'Lil Miss Dangerus is High Maintenance scored first with a spectacular reverse move over the left racing lane, but newcomer Dustin Brown took the lead away by one point. From there it was War Wizard in the lead until Gary Porter finally put Grave Digger in the winner's circle with a high score of 25. Here are tonight's results:

By Greg Whitacre
One of the biggest stories of the weekend just got bigger today. Last night I did not bring to your attention in full detail that Dustin Brown, the crew chief for Dennis Anderson, got his shot at driving a monster truck. Dustin is driving Monster Mutt Rottweiler this weekend and took his first ever racing victory by defeating two time World Finals Racing Champion John Seasock in Advance Auto Parts Grinder. What else is historic is that Brown also defeated Grave Digger in the semi-finals. What a day for Dustin who also had his wife and new son on hand to watch.
The day was also full of excitement from Seasock in Advance Auto Parts Grinder. Not only did he make it to the racing finals for a second time, but he also took home the Wheelie trophy with a score of 28. The Advance Auto Parts Grinder fans were on their feet after the wheelie that took the truck on a spin and landed on its roof. Grave Digger lived up to his reputation by winning the freestyle contest with a high score of 26 as he too rolled over as the clock expired. Here are today's results:
Wheelies:Advance Auto Parts Grinder 28Spider-Man 27Lil' Miss Dangerous is High Maintenance 23War Wizard 22Grave Digger 20Monster Mutt Rottweiler 16Racing Round One: Monster Mutt Rottweiler def. Spider-Man, War Wizard def. High Maintenance, Advance Auto Parts Grinder def. Grave Digger,

Finals: Monster Mutt Rottweiler def. Advance Auto Parts Grinder.
Freestyle:Grave Digger 26Advance Auto Parts Grinder 24Monster Mutt Rottweiler 22War Wizard 21Spider-Man 19Lil' Miss Dangerous is High Maintenance 18
Another spectacular night of Wheelies, Racing and Freestyle took place in the RBC Center. The fans were awesome as they watched their favorite Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam Super stars battle it out. Dustin Brown again was impressive as he took home another racing trophy, the second of his young career. John Seasock had problems at the start and did not compete in the first two competitions but made it to freestyle and rocked the house with a top score of 26. Whit Tarlton also took his second win of the weekend by winning the wheelie competition with a top score of 25.
Racing started off with Grave Digger getting a bye in round one as Monster Mutt Rottweiler took the win over Spider-Man. War Wizard also won his first round match up against Lil' Miss Dangerous is High Maintenance. In the semi-finals, War Wizard defeated Grave Digger by inches in a photo finish, which was the same for Monster Mutt Rottweiler in his win over fast looser Spider-Man. In the finals it was so close that Monster Mutt Rottweiler won bye a tongue length over War Wizard. Here are the Wheelie and Freestyle results:

Letter to the Editor
I read with great interest the article in today's paper: "Reid, Democrats directing ire at Kochs." I wonder if he and the Democratic Party would have more credibility if they were to mention that the Koch brothers are outspent in political contributions by no less than 11 labor unions as well as George Soros.
To quote an article in Investors Business Daily:
"You'd think the Koch brothers were the most powerful money men in American politics. Look at the Center for Responsive Politics' list of 'Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2014.' The Kochs come in 59th. Not exactly 'buying America,' as Reid asserts."
Topping the CRP's list is ActBlue,
Next on the list are:

Topic: Moving Presenter files to SharePoint - Has anyone done this?
As part of the project turnover, I need to upload all the files to SharePoint. That means I'll be uploading PowerPoint decks with their corresponding Presenter audio and PPCX files as well as raw and edited audio recorded in Audacity (AUP & MP3 files).
Has anyone uploaded their work to SharePoint? I'm really apprehensive about doing this. Will it put the PPCX file in danger? I would appreciate any guidance that the community can offer.
Thanks for your help,

Sitting in the dedicated pediatric speech therapy room are Judy Koza, speech therapist, Peggy Soucek, director of physical medicine & rehabilitation, and Bridget Maenner, pediatric speech therapist.
- Filed Under
As a parent, how do you know if your child could benefit from speech therapy? Several "red flags" in communication development that may warrant a speech-language evaluation include:
? Stuttering
? Difficulty producing certain sounds
? Excessive drooling
? Decreased interest in interactions
? Not speaking in simple sentences by age 3
It's the goal of the speech therapists at Underwood-Memorial Hospital to provide an individualized program based on each child's specific needs. Therapy is provided for:
Articulation disorders:
A child may substitute one sound for another or delete sounds or syllables in words. By the time your child is five years old, you should understand approximately 90 percent of their speech.
Hearing impairment:
Children with hearing impairments ma demonstrate difficulty correctly producing certain sounds or may experience a delay in language development.
Apraxia of Speech: A child with apraxis of speech will demonstrate difficulty in programming movements to produce sounds/syllables in words.
Add one-Underwood's pediatric speech therapy services
Children with autism have a developmental disability that affects their ability to communicate effectively with others. Speech therapy may include improving social skills, reducing negative behaviors, and enhancing overall language skills.
Voice disorders: Vocally abusive behaviors or philological abnormalities may cause a child's voice to sound breathy, harsh, or hoarse. Skilled speech therapy may incorporate teaching effective speaking patterns and decreasing vocally abusive behaviors.
Fluency disorders, or stuttering:
This occur when the flow of speech is interrupted by prolongations or repititions of sounds, syllables, and words. Moments of disfluency may be accompanied by behaviors such as eye blinking, lip tremors, or struggle.
Language delays:
For receptive language, children may demonstrate difficulty in understanding certain concepts like size, location and questions that begin with who, what, where, or when. For expressive language, the child may not have difficulty in correctly producing sounds, but may have difficulty with correct grammar and defining vocabulary words.
For more information about the pediatric outpatient speech services at Underwood, please call 856.853.2003.

WASHINGTON — Immigration reform is a long shot in the US House, and defense firms are doing next to nothing to change that despite possibly tens of billions of dollars in business for new border-securing systems.
Republicans, who control the chamber, last month briefly raised the prospects for an immigration bill when the caucus unveiled its standards for a reform bill. The one-page document stated that steps to bolster border security must come first.
A version of an immigration bill that passed the Senate last year called for nearly $40 billion for new US-made combat hardware for that very purpose, meaning the GOP white paper raised the possibility of new, unanticipated business for defense companies.
But within days of the release of the GOP standards, House Speaker Rep. John Boehner and other Republicans began pouring cold water on the narrative that the lower chamber would pass even a pared-down version of the Senate bill.
Immigration reform is a long shot at best, one defense industry lobbyist said. All indications are its dead, at least this year, in the House.
Asked what the Aerospace Industries Association, the US defense sectors largest lobbying group, is doing to change House Republicans minds, spokesman Dan Stohr said, Immigration reform was not a priority issue for AIA.
A review of campaign donation data from defense companies to House GOP members and leaders who would be charged with writing an immigration-reform bill, and securing enough votes to pass it, confirms Stohrs comment.
A Defense News review of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics shows no uptick in donations to top Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee the panel with jurisdiction over immigration policy nor to GOP leaders.
Based on the Senate bill, US companies that build aircraft, vehicles and other hardware stand to benefit from a border-steeling immigration bill. The upper chambers bill would be a boon for Sikorsky Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, surveillance drone makers and other companies feeling the squeeze from sequestration and declining military spending worldwide.
The defense industry lobbyist said companies should be pushing for new business, but he and other industry sources said executives see little incentive to get involved in such a hot-button political issue.
Its just not a major play among the companies to push for a bill right now. I think this is a decision thats larger than they are, the lobbyist said. I mean, it has already been decided at the [GOP] leadership level, so why try to push a boulder up a hill?
Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute and a consultant to top defense firms, said, The defense industry is too smart to take sides in a political controversy as highly charged as immigration reform.
Thompson said border security simply isnt a big enough market for weapon manufacturers to risk political backlash by upsetting otherwise defense-friendly lawmakers. Plus, the programs are smaller and the margins are tighter, he added.
The proposed investment in border security was supposed to sweeten the deal for Republicans, but not with an eye to rewarding arms makers, Thompson said. Companies would still have to compete for the business; $38 billion might sound like big money, but thats what the Pentagon spends every three weeks or so, spread out over a decade.
Whats more, after several turbulent years during which defense executives warned of uncertainty in the DoD budget, 2014 already is a good year, the lobbyist said.
Youve got a defense appropriations bill and an authorization bill. Youve got a top-line number, the lobbyist said. Everyone else is stuck in quicksand. ■

So I am parsing a URL and want to get a list of all the links in a page using Nokogiri.
But I want to push the results returned into a two-dimensional array.
I am now doing this:
def my_list(url)
root = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url))
list = []
root.css("a").each do |link|
list << (link[:href])
This gives me just the http links. If I do
list << link it gives me the full
<a> tag.
What I want to do is to push just the text of the link (can use
link.text) to say
list[0][0], and then the href value (using
link[:href]) to the other cell say
How do I do that?

Great Moments in Crop-Top History
In the immortal words of Miley Cyrus, we can't stop and we won't stop thinking about crop tops. How could we when we have decades of eye candy to admire?
Whether it's Baby's Catskills-ready ensemble in Dirty Dancing or Destiny's Child's flawlessly coordinated neon sets, crop tops have been the cool-girl uniform since long before Ms. Cyrus could crawl, let alone twerk. So let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?

FirstEnergy to close six coal-fired power plants
FirstEnergy Corp. on Thursday became the first major U.S. power company to close aging coal-fired power plants because of tougher new air pollution rules.
It won't be the last.
"Increasingly with these older plants, it's more expensive to clean them up than shut them down," said M. Granger Morgan, head of the engineering and public policy department at Carnegie Mellon University.
FirstEnergy announced it would close six plants -- including the 54-year-old Armstrong Power Station in Adrian in Armstrong County -- rather than comply with federal Environmental Protection Agency rules to reduce mercury and soot emissions. The company operates 17 coal power plants.
"Everybody that has older coal plants is doing the calculation," Morgan said.
Four power plants in Ohio and one in Maryland will be shut down by Sept. 1, said FirstEnergy, which is based in Akron, Ohio.
More than 500 FirstEnergy employees will be affected, including 60 in Armstrong County. The company said some of the laid-off workers may be offered jobs at other plants.
Environmental groups cheered the announcement.
"Above all, this is a win for public health and for families who have been breathing polluted air from these outdated plants," said Bruce Nilles, senior director of the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign.
Armstrong County officials said they were "deeply disturbed" by the job losses.
"Not only are good-paying jobs being lost at the Armstrong power plant; jobs will certainly be lost in ancillary industries, support services and by small coal-mining operations," said Dave Battaglia, chairman of the county Board of Commissioners.
Other energy companies are likely to follow FirstEnergy's lead.
American Electric Power Co. Inc. of Columbus, Ohio, the nation's largest electricity producer, said in June that it would close five plants and partially shut six others if the EPA's mercury and other pollution rules were approved.
A company spokesman said AEP has been reviewing its closure plan since the rules were finalized. The company has "very deep concerns" about electric grid reliability if it closes plants in Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio.
More than 32 coal-fired plants in a dozen states would be forced to shut down under the new rules, according to a survey reported by The Associated Press last month.
The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, finalized by the EPA in late December, "will prevent as many as 11,000 premature deaths and 4,700 heart attacks a year," the agency said.
The Obama administration was under court order to issue the new rule after a federal court threw out an attempt by the Bush administration to exempt power plants from controls for toxic pollutants.
The new rules were made at a bad time for the economy, an industry group said.
"Just as we are clawing our way out of the Great Recession, states such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, which rely heavily on electricity from coal, will be particularly hard-hit by the cost of these regulations," said spokeswoman Lisa Miller of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
The six plants FirstEnergy will close can generate 2,689 megawatts of power, but they recently were used only during times of high and intermediate demand for power. The plants provided about 10 percent of the FirstEnergy's electricity production over the past three years, the company said.
FirstEnergy, which operates West Penn Power and Penn Power subsidiaries in Pennsylvania, expects it will make up for the lost power from its other plants, said Charles Lasky, vice president of Fossil Fleet Operations.
Pennsylvanians should not worry about having enough electricity here, said Jan Jarrett, CEO of the Harrisburg-based environmental group Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future.
"We have more than enough power in Pennsylvania to keep the lights on," she said.
FirstEnergy expects it will spend $2 billion to $3 billion on upgrades at its other power plants to meet the new rules, Lasky said. The company's newer plants, built in the 1970s and 1980s, will "justify the investment," he said.

A suspended lawyer has pleaded guilty in an incident in which she hit a vehicle in the Sweeney's Saloon parking lot in St. Paul and then fought with police officers who tried to arrest her.
Rachel Lauren Toberman, 31, of St. Paul admitted Monday, March 4, to obstructing legal process and driving under the influence in the Jan. 16, 2011, incident. Both are misdemeanors.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 25 in Ramsey County District Court.
Toberman did not respond to an email message seeking comment.
According to the criminal complaint in the case:
A man called police to report that he was at a window seat in Sweeney's on Dale Street when he saw someone run into his parked vehicle.
He went outside to talk to the driver, he said.
" 'I'm a lawyer. You can't prove I was driving,' " the man quoted Toberman as saying. She went into the bar.
He noted the license plate. When police arrived, the man pointed her out. An officer asked Toberman to step outside to talk about the collision. She refused, and pushed on his chest. After a warning, she resisted arrest by attempting to kick and hit the officer.
The officer took Toberman to the ground and handcuffed her while she "continued to resist and used profane language and personal derogatory remarks toward the officer," the complaint said.
In October, the Supreme Court suspended Toberman for at least nine months, for reasons unrelated to the Sweeney's incident.
The order said Toberman's reinstatement is contingent on her "demonstrating that she has addressed any addiction or mental health issues that lead (sic) to the misconduct."

About Watsonville, CA
Watsonville is a city in Santa Cruz County, California, United States. The population was 51,199 according to the 2010 census. Located on the central coast of California, the economy centers predominantly around the farming industry. It is known for growing strawberries, apples, lettuce and a host of other vegetables. Watsonville is home to people of varied ethnic backgrounds. There is a large Hispanic population, a small group of Croats, and a Filipino, Caucasian, and Japanese population that live and work in the city. The Pajaro Valley, wherein Watsonville is located, has a climate that is usually pleasant — around 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. This climate makes Watsonville an attractive coastal environment for the neighboring inland communities with very hot summers. The Pajaro Valley Unified School District has an attendance of about 18,000 students kindergarten through 12th grades. There are several private religious-based schools in Watsonville such as Notre Dame School, Monte Vista Christian, Salesian Sisters and St. Francis. There are also several charter schools and the non-religious independent Pre-K through 12th grade Mount Madonna School. These schools provide a wide range of educational options for local families. Watsonville is generally conservative on the political spectrum and average in relationship to the neighboring communities of Salinas, Castroville, and Prunedale. The larger coastal town directly north of Watsonville is the city of Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a draw for many young college students who attend Cabrillo College or University of California, Santa Cruz. Because Watsonville and Santa Cruz are beach towns, they draw many visitors from San Jose and from the Central Valley areas. Like neighboring Salinas in Monterey County, Watsonville produces a variety of fruits and vegetables, primarily apples, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and table mushrooms.

An attorney who advised clients to reoccupy their foreclosed homes is facing the loss of his law license, the State Bar of California said Thursday.
The state bar is recommending the disbarment of Michael T. Pines, 60, after he refused to participate in the agency's disciplinary proceedings against him.
Pines has been arrested several times after accompanying clients to their foreclosed homes, sometimes with a locksmith. He was arrested at an Occupy Wall Street rally in Rancho Santa Fe. The state bar convicted Pines on 18 separate charges related to three foreclosure cases he handled. In one instance, he returned repeatedly to one foreclosed home with his clients, violating a restraining order obtained by the current owners. His case now goes before the California Supreme Court, which upholds the majority of state bar recommendations.
The Michael T. Pines in this case is unrelated to another Michael Pines, a personal injury attorney in La Jolla who is 53.

The wife of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is not convinced of her husband's role in 17 counts of murders of Afghan civilians.
"I don't think anything will really change my mind in believing that he did not do this -- this is not what it appears to be," Karilyn Bales told Matt Lauer on The Today Show, three days after her husband was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and other crimes.
Karilyn said the most jarring accusation is that her husband -- who has two kids, daughter Quincy and son Bobby -- killed nine children during his rampage, as "he loves children, he's like a big kid himself.
"I have no idea what happened, but he would not ... he loves children, and he would not do that."
The 38-year-old solider showed no signs of PTSD, Karilyn said, adding he held back news about a brain injury he suffered one of his three tours of duty in Iraq until he returned to their Washington state home.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales remains behind bars in military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
His alleged rampage happened during his fourth tour of duty – this time, in Afghanistan.
"He shielded me from a lot of what he went through," Karilyn said. "He's a very tough guy."
Karilyn said she's spoken to her husband twice via phone since the deaths, and that they "reaffirmed their love for each other," but did not speak about the incident.
"We couldn't discuss those details," Karilyn told Lauer. "He was ... seemed a bit confused, as to where he was and why he was there."
"You know, I think that all soldiers, all people deserve the best defense that they can get," she said, "and I believe he deserves the best defense ... to know what happened."
Karilyn said she has set up a defense fund on her husband's behalf, RadarOnline.com reported.
