Don't pay the fee. Write him a letter telling him that he did not earn that
1800 because
he did not do the work. Also tell him that if he keeps harassing you, you
will complain to the AILA, and reserve the right to take him to court. Also,
tell him that you will complain to
ABA and get him disciplined for harassing clients.
Make sure you send him this letter using registered mail with signature

If you really want to go to war, don't respond. Simply do the following:
1) draft a complaint to AILA, and mail the complaint with a copy of his letter

I did not suggest disputing the contract. Nevertheless, the contract very
likely is unenforceable. The bottom line is, the lawyer did not work to earn
the fee, and he keeps bugging the client for the money. This is sufficient
for filing for a disciplinary action.
Also, I suggested him posting the complaint template for the use by others,
not the entire complaint with real names. Even if he does, that does not
constitute defamation. All the court complaints are published in the public

Yeah, let's forget about this guy.
The job market has indeed been quite hot for Chinese JDs. In my school, both

And I'm even happier to notice that many offers have nothing to do with our
Chinese or technical background at all. It's really good news for all the

You both used the word "hot" describing job market for Chinese JDs. Can you be

When I was doing job search, I found out there are still not many Chinese (

Thanks a lot.

It's hard to find this type of statistics anywhere. It's difficult enough to

In general, there aren't many Chinese JDs to start with (in absolute numbers).
So far, most of the Chinese JDs I know have placed in AMLAW 100 firms, if
not top 50. Among the firms your referred to, I think Cravath and Wachtell
are the creme de la creme among all and form a tier of their own. Then there

mind your words here "prey on". it sounds offensive. don't you have some

of minority? perhaps I didn't quote exactly what you said before but that's

impression of what were essentially saying. I have no interest in "distorting"

I think you have obvious bias against minority lawyers. A lot of

It's hard to find this type of statistics anywhere. It's difficult enough to
figure out the placement of my own class in law school, let alone all the
Chinese JD across the country.
In general, there aren't many Chinese JDs to start with (in absolute numbers).
So far, most of the Chinese JDs I know have placed in AMLAW 100 firms, if
not top 50. Among the firms your referred to, I think Cravath and Wachtell
are the creme de la creme among all and form a tier of their own. Then there
are the

Damn, I was fooled by you. I went back to discussion in this topic. Where did
I mention China? You are delutional.
As far as I can recall, I mentioned China in this board once or twice,
indicating that China might follow civil law, not common law. What is wrong
with that?

我在DC.
我的经验只局限在专利领域, 而且大部分时候是与台湾的公司打交道. 我们有很多的
客户是美国公司但是我很少跟他们打交道, 所以不知道他们对律师是什么想法, 更不
知道一般美国人怎么想. 不过谁都知道律师的声誉不好吧.
台湾客户倒是很喜欢我, 不过专利还是不能跟其他的混为一谈吧.

I only practice in Boston, for myself; I am familiar with this part of
Massachusetts. Most likely you are not in Massachusetts.
In addition to being a student, you have some practical experience for 3 to 4
years. Taiwanese despise all people who work in legal field, such as
prosecutors, judges, clerks of the court, and lawyers--due to deep suspicions
of judicial corruption, some of which are valid. How about US, or that part of
US where you live? Do Americans trust their courts (federal and stat

posting. That suits me just fine. Then you went back on your words, and

I don't want to be misunderstood. I am not a lawyer or law student, but I
fight court battles with them. Those in prestigious law firms are not
necessarly better, in legal knowledge or ethics. However, in small law firm or
solo practitioner, they don't have resources for a library or internet
database, that is really bad. Otherwise, any lawyer working hard deserve
respect. I admire Richard M. Nixon, who came from a poor family, went to a
local college(Whittier College in Whittier, CA, with Quak

What I described is facts.
Firstly, you are putting words inmy mouth. i did not say "small firms" tended
to screw/cheat people; you said it. I did say minority law students could not
get proper training after graduation; with poor skill and knowledge, they are
left with client base of minority groups to prey on. And minority clients tend
to be poor, can't afford reputable lawyers, who are mostly white (men and
women).
Again, you said I admired solo practioners; I did not.
If you disagree with my

I respond paragraph by paragraph.
(1) It has nothing to do with minority dignity. If I am rich enough, I will
hesitate to hire a foreign-born or minority lawyer. Yes, it is stereotype. But
as a judge in New York state remarked in his book several years ago, if a
defendant in a criminal case remains charged (i.e., charges not dropped) after
a couple of court proceedings but before trial, he is guilty more often than
not.
Further, to "prey on" is my observation' naturally it is not limited to
mino
