Maurice Williams If someone found last nights episode entertaining and not frustrating please let me know how you were able to do this. I'm sorry fans but I can't wait until this is over, a good show has been stretched to long.

I'm actually enjoying season 6 more than I have enjoyed any other season besides season 1. (Though maybe that's because I find the character development the most compelling aspect of the show.) I think it helps to just relax and enjoy the journey and trust that Damon and Carlton know what they are doing. If each episode just spewed answers out without any suspense or mystery, it wouldn't be LOST and it probably wouldn't be as enjoyable.

Bob Larson So, I've realized that I'm going to need to be more open minded if I want to get a job. The problem is, I've got a clear focus in IP law. I've taken several IP classes, I'm an officer of the Student IP Law Association, and I did my 2L internship with a solo patent guy. (I want to go into patent prosecution.) There are other areas of law that I'm interested in (e.g., bankrupcty, construction, etc.), but I haven't taken classes in any of those. How do I explain my situation in a cover letter?

Rather than make employers ask, "This person is focused on patent law, why is he applying here?", answer that question for them right off the bat. State why you are interested in bankruptcy, e.g. you have been closely following bankruptcy issues in the news, a bankruptcy issue came up in a patent law project you worked on, previous job experience, etc. It sounds like your interest is sincere and that sincerity will likely come through in your cover letter. Once you make clear that you are interested in this other area of law even though it is a departure from what you have been studying, focus in on the skills that are transferable, such as your ability to work on highly technical, complex issues and that you have good attention to detail.

The best of luck to you!
