The
U.S. Patent & Trademark Office ("USPTO") Examination is Being
Administered in July
USPTO 2008
Administered Exam (only at the USPTO in Alexandria,
Virginia)
An examination for persons seeking registration before the United
States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") as patent attorneys
and agents will be held July 23
and July 24, 2008, pursuant to 35
U.S.C. § 2(b)(2)(D) and 37 CFR § 11.7. Monday, April 21, 2008 is the deadline
for filing applications along with the appropriate
application fee and the $450.00 examination fee and all
necessary showings required by 37 CFR § 11.7(a) and
§ 11.7(b).
The USPTO administered examination is given only at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, Virginia. The USPTO administered examination is NOT given at any
other location.
Due to limited seating and the uncertainty of the number of
persons applying to take the examination, it is possible that not
everyone will be able to take the examination on the same date.
Accordingly, the first group of approved applicants filling the
available seats will be scheduled to take the examination on Wednesday, July 23, 2008. The
next group of approved applicants will be scheduled to take the
examination on Thursday, July 24,
2008. Applicants granted admission will be assigned
a testing date for the first available date until all test dates are
filled. The Office of Enrollment and Discipline ("OED") will notify
applicants of their scheduled examination date.
The USPTO administered examination will use paper examination
booklets, mark-sense answer sheets and the Manual of Patent
Examining Procedure ("MPEP") furnished by the Office. For further
information and the application form, consult the General
Requirements Bulletin available on the Internet at the following Web
address: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/gcounsel/oed.htm
. A printed copy of the General Requirements
Bulletin is available from the OED as single copies for a
prepaid fee of $15.00 per copy. You may also obtain information at http://www1.uspto.gov/go/dcom/olia/oed/uspto08_administered_exam.htm.
Applications filed on or after Tuesday, April 22, 2008 will not be
considered for the July 2008 examination. A timely filed application
is one that is received in the Office on or before April 21, 2008, or mailed on
or before April 21,
2008, in full compliance with the certificate
of mailing provisions of 37 CFR § 1.8, or 37
CFR § 1.10. Please consult the provisions of 37 CFR
§§ 1.8 and 1.10. A mere postmark on an
application-containing envelope is not sufficient to meet the
deadline. Inasmuch as applications
must bear applicant's original signature, 37 CFR § 1.4(e),
they may not be filed by facsimile or electronically.
Registration does not qualify one for practice before the Office
in trademark cases. Such recognition is governed by 37 CFR
§ 10.14.
For further information, please contact the Office of Enrollment
and Discipline by calling (571) 272-4097.

The Florida
Senate Internship Program
Description of the Program
The Florida Senate Internship
Program offers a unique training opportunity in the areas of public
policy and the legislative process to highly motivated, recent
college graduates and graduate students, who wish to learn more
about such areas.
The Program places 12 to 15
selected interns in one of a number of Senate standing committees
comprised of Senators, who evaluate and debate legislation in areas
within the committees’ jurisdiction. Each committee retains a staff
director, one or more legislative analysts/attorneys, and an
administrative assistant. Selected interns will perform professional
work as committee analysts by preparing reports and bill analyses
and will assist committee staff with substantive/policy research by
conducting Internet research; conducting library research;
contacting state agencies for documents or other items; and tracking
legislation as it moves through the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
Internships will
begin on August 4th and end May 29th of the following year.
Internships are available as OPS (no benefits) positions, allowing
flexibility for school schedules. During the length of the internship, interns should be
able to work at least 20 to 24 hours per week from August through
December, and 32 to 40 hours per week from January through
May.
Successful
candidates will chose one of the following
options:
• $16 per hour
worked, or
• $11 per hour
worked plus $6468 towards tuition, which may be used during the
internship or for one year after the internship ends (requires a
commitment to work at least 1100 total hours).
Compensation
figures are subject to change. The Senate will provide a parking
space and waive monthly parking fees for all
interns.
Eligibility
Requirements
Applicants for the
Program must be Florida residents and have earned a Bachelor’s
degree by the time the internship begins. In addition, the applicant
must intend to pursue, be in the process of pursuing, or have
recently completed a graduate program by the time the internship
begins. Preference will be given to those applicants pursuing a
graduate degree in a public Florida university.
In accordance with
American Bar Association rules, schedules for first-year law
students prohibit them from participating in the Internship Program.
Immediate family members of Senators presently serving in the Senate
are not eligible for the Program.
The most important
qualities of any intern, regardless of academic or professional
experience, are strong communication skills, intellectual curiosity
and enthusiasm. Skills that are important for the internship are
knowledge of the principles and techniques of basic research,
analysis, and writing; and ability to handle confidential
information.
Individual
Committee Skill Requirements
Different standing committees have different
requirements.
For example:
The Committee on Commerce seeks individuals with experience or interest
in the areas of economic development, workforce, tourism,
international trade and a wide variety of other business related
subjects. Academic backgrounds well suited for this committee
include: economics, economic development, finance, business, public
administration and law.
The Committee on Agriculture seeks individuals with an academic background
or practical experience in agriculture or a related area. Applicant
must be seeking a masters degree or law degree with at least one
year of school completed.
The Bill Drafting Office seeks a 2nd or 3rd year law student who has
completed the 1st year of Legal Research and Writing course and who
is interested in the legislative process. Since the office’s work
involves a large amount of legal research, an intern candidate other
than a law student would gain very little from the experience and
would require a great deal of training. The successful applicant
will have a strong background in writing, i.e., experience as a
graduate teaching or research assistant, or undergraduate major in
English or Creative Writing, or other experience providing evidence
that the candidate writes well and enjoys writing.
The Committee on Transportation seeks an intern with an academic background
or practical experience in transportation or a related area, who is
seeking a masters degree or law degree and has completed one year of
school.
The Committee on General Government
Appropriations seeks an individual with an interest in the
appropriations process, specifically in the areas of government
administration, environment and agriculture. The intern should have
experience with Excel. Interns with various academic backgrounds,
from law to economics and from social work to history have been
successful.
For additional information regarding all
committees, please visit www.flsenate.gov.

Applicants must submit a completed Florida
Legislative Employment Application, available at www.leg.state.fl.us, and the

FCBA
Foundation Now Accepting Applications for Funding of Unpaid Legal
Internships at Government Agencies
For the fifteenth
consecutive year, the Federal Communications Bar Association
("FCBA") Foundation will award stipends to law students from its
Chairman Robert E. Lee Scholarship and Internship Fund. In
2008, the Foundation will award at least five $5,000 stipends to law
students employed as unpaid summer interns in positions with the FCC
and other government agencies or entities with a connection to the
communications industry (i.e., broadcasting, cable television,
telephony, satellite, wireless, and information
technology).
In addition, the
Foundation will select one outstanding intern among those chosen to
receive an additional stipend of $600 for the summer—the “Max Paglin
Award.” Mr. Paglin was the former General Counsel and
Executive Director of the FCC, and the founder of the Golden Jubilee
Commission on Telecommunications, which compiled a definitive
legislative history of the Communications Act.
Requirements:
Applicants will be
selected on the basis of: (1) a demonstrated interest in the
communications field, (2) having secured or having pending, an
unpaid summer position (internship) for at least 8 weeks in
communications with a government agency, (3) dependence on financial
assistance in order to accept the unpaid internship in a government
agency or entity involved in communications; and, (4) community
activities. To the extent a recipient receives unanticipated
funding for the unpaid internship, the FCBA Foundation’s general
policy is to reduce its scholarship awards by any amount that a
recipient’s total funding (including all sources) for the internship
would otherwise exceed $7,000.
Applications for a Lee Fund scholarship should be
submitted to Kerry Loughney, FCBA Foundation, 1020 19th Street,
N.W., Suite 325, Washington, D.C. 20036, by Friday, March 7,

2008.

located in a state other than Illinois, you must still
register. Simply choose "Law Student" as your "Job
Title. Registrations will be approved in 24
hours.
To get
started with your online application, go to www.illinoisprobono.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=students.dspHome.
If you have already registered, or after your registration is
approved, you may log in and apply to up to ten summer internship
host agencies.
THE COVER
LETTER:
Please
individualize your cover letters. Since PILI and the agencies
seek a diverse group of interns, you may include information about
minority status and foreign language fluency.
DEADLINES:
The application period for the 2008 Summer
Internship program will be open to second-year students beginning on
October 15, 2007. Due to NALP
restrictions, first-year students will not be eligible
to apply until December 1st, 2007.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling
basis through March of 2008.
Please note: Each agency
supervisor handles hiring differently; some make hiring decisions in
fall or winter, while others wait until later in the
school-year. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of
obtaining an Internship.
UPLOADING YOUR
APPLICATION MATERIALS :
Once you
have uploaded your resume and your cover letter(s), your application
is complete. (You will not receive any e-mail or other notification
from PILI that they have received your application materials).
From October through March, agency supervisors receive weekly
automated e-mails with links to their applicants. When an
agency supervisor logs in, he/she will see your resume and cover
letter, along with those of others who have applied to the agency.
GETTING HIRED AS
A PILI INTERN:
PILI does
not hire Interns; the agencies do. PILI recruits applicants and
hosts, funds stipends and acts as a clearinghouse. However,
here are some tips. Public interest agencies want students who
are dedicated to public interest issues. Therefore, mention
experiences that demonstrate your commitment, including volunteer or
community work, and note any special skills, e.g., language
proficiency, computer experience, etc.
AGENCY
RESPONSES:
Don't be
discouraged if you have applied for an Internship but have not yet
had a response. Each agency has its own hiring
practices. Some make hiring decisions in fall or winter, while
others wait until later in the school-year. Agencies may not
always acknowledge every application because many agencies have
neither the staff nor the funds to do so. Some agencies will
directly contact selected applicants for interviews. If you
have not yet heard from an agency, you are free to follow up with
that agency to check on the status of your application, but do so in
a professional and respectful manner.
STIPEND
FOR PILI SUMMER INTERNS:
PILI pays a
$5,000 grant to the agency; the agency withholds taxes and pays the
Intern for 400 hours, or ten full-time weeks, of work. Check
the agency's pay arrangements so you will know what to
expect.
AFFILIATED
AGENCIES FOR THE 2008 SUMMER INTERNSHIP
PROGRAM:
PILI's affiliated agencies page lists all of the 50 host agencies at which law
student Interns or post-graduate Fellows work. However, only
the 20 agencies designated as Summer Intern hosts are participating
in the PILI Summer Internship Program. Therefore, PILI Law

Apply for the
Public Interest Service Student
Awards
Public Interest work
is an important professional responsibility for each member of the
bar, and law school is an excellent time to begin addressing that
responsibility. The aim of these public interest awards is to
recognize students and student organizations who best exemplify the
Law School’s vibrant tradition of extensive service to the community
and the profession. It will not be easy to select up to two
awardees from among the very large number of students who devote
such remarkable energy, commitment and talent to public interest
work, but making the awards will help bring much deserved
recognition to the student body as a whole. One award will be
for Exemplary Service to the Poor, and the other will be Innovative
Service in Public Interest.
Nominations
may come from students, faculty, supervising attorneys or from the
student nominee. A student may nominate him-or herself.
A committee of faculty and administration members involved in the
law school's public interest programs will select the
awardees. It is expected that the award for Exemplary Service
to the Poor will be an annual event; the award for Innovative
Service in the Public Interest will be made in those years in which
there is a particularly noteworthy instance of
innovation.
The
Awards:
Exemplary Service to the Poor.
The first award will go to the graduating 3L student or
students who has or have performed exemplary service benefiting poor
persons. The work must have been accomplished through an existing
school-based program or community organization. Qualifying work
includes law-related, as well as non law-related work, and may be
either directly beneficial to poor persons or to a charitable,
religious or educational organization whose overall mission and
activities are designated predominately to address the needs of poor
persons. The term poor is not limited to those who meet federal
poverty standards but also includes "working poor." A qualifying
student may have received academic credit or financial compensation
for the work.
Innovative Service in the Public
Interest. This award will go to a graduating 3L
student or students or to a student organization whose board
membership consists significantly of graduating 3L students.
Qualifying work includes the meaningful expansion of an existing
school-based or community program, or creation of a new school-based
or community program. The award seeks to recognize innovation in
addressing public interest concerns and may include: (1) work for
persons of limited means, (2) work that meaningfully expands the
work of a charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental or
educational organization that is designed to primarily address the
needs of persons of limited means; (3) work that is designed to
secure or protect civil rights, civil liberties, public rights, or
work for that meaningfully expands the work of charitable,
religious, civic, community, governmental and educational
organizations in matters in furtherance of their organizational
purposes; (4) work that is designed to improve the law, the legal
system or the legal profession. A qualifying student may have
received academic credit or financial compensation for the work.
Application
Process:
- The nominator may be a student, faculty
member, supervising attorney, or student nominee.
- A student may be nominated for both awards,
but separate applications must be submitted for each award. The
application must clearly designate the award for which the
application applies.
- The application must include:
- a statement, no more than 5 pages in length,
from the nominating person regarding the suitability of the
nominee for the award;
- three letters of recommendation, one of
which must be from a supervising attorney or comparable
supervisor in those cases where the nominee has been working for
an existing organization;
- a resume, to be submitted by the nominee.
- The nominator should submit ten (10) copies of
the application documents.
The application deadline is 5 p.m.,
Friday, March 14th.
The application may be delivered to
the Assistant Dean for Public Interest and Pro Bono, Marni
Lennon’s office (Room B446), or e-mailed to mlennon@law.miami.edu, or it can be mailed to:
