I gotta ask, as a law student in New York (and about to take the last ever old format New York Bar exam), how did you come by to be a video game attorney?

I think we both know the general idea, with IP law and what not. But I guess what I'm really looking at is:

• did you take the patent bar;
• how is the work load of a video game attorney compared to a Top 100 Firm associate/public interest/private practice small firm;
• what did you think you were going to be practicing when you graduated and eventually admitted to practice;
• what was your degree in undergrad for the patent bar qualification, and;
• what was your professional path that lead to being a "video game attorney"?

Also, what did you do to prep for the NY bar (or other bars if you're jurisdiction admitted), and what advice do you have for upcoming attorneys in New York--those who are going into private practice and, if you can relate or give pointers, to those going into public interest areas?

I just want to thank you in all that you do as a disability advocate.

I am currently in law school and I am a legal intern at my state's protection and advocacy authority for individuals with disabilities. I also got involved in disability rights because my father and his involvement with advancing disability policy in the state of New York (ranging from medicaid buy-in program, changing New York election law to allow accessible polling site and polling machines, and currently advancing public policy to increase employment and decrease poverty levels in the disability community). I at least hope to finish law school, pass the bar, and keep on working in this field of disability rights and advocacy.

My question to you is: how do you see the disability rights movement--in terms of it's past, progression to current day, and it's future?

Way cool. That's amazing, especially in Ontario!

Hey, if you're still looking for a good hotel to stay at in NYC; give these people a call. They're the Center for Independence for the Disabled, New York. I know the Executive Director. They should have a list of good places to stay in the city.

Thank you for the response, Counselor! Hopefully I'll be joining your ranks in less than a year!
