Rebirth of America, this is my era

Chapter 11: Barbara, lawyer? Mage!

According to the logic of most people, the most important and right thing to do after a product is born is to find sales channels, but this logic generally only appears in industries without copyright or patent infringement.

Once a patent copyright is involved, the first thing to do is to register it.

Especially those products that are easy to imitate and copy.

So, when "Snake" was made, the most important thing Ethan should do was to seek legal protection.

There was no way, since the reason why Mi Luohua fired him was still fresh in his mind.
According to Ethan's original idea, hiring a lawyer should be done by Thomas.

As a landowner and a member of the California Farm Board and the American Farm Federation, Ethan believed that Thomas could help him find a suitable lawyer.

But when Evelyn said that she had sought help from teachers at Stanford Law School during the production of Snake, Ethan decisively put Thomas behind him.

So, the next morning, Ethan drove the Chevrolet and went to Stanford with Evelyn.

…………

Stanford University, built by Leland and his wife Stanford, is one of the largest campuses in the United States. It is located on the San Francisco Peninsula, northwest of the Santa Clara Valley.

Although it seems far, it is less than fifteen miles from Los Gatos.

Less than half an hour after running along Highway 85, Ethan saw the distinctive building with yellow brick walls and red tile roofs.

This is the most numerous and prominent building at Stanford University, built in the classic Spanish Colonial style.

Driving further along the wide road, you can see palm-lined groves, lily-dotted flower beds, and rose-structured gardens.

As an open university covering an area of ​​8180 acres, Stanford University obviously has no walls. After all, not every capitalist wears a red tie.

Ethan moved freely and soon arrived in front of a teaching building. At the door of the building, there was a stone tablet with a Stanford tree carved on it and two lines of words written below. The first line was 'Stanford' and the second line was 'Law School'.

"This is it, right?" Ethan recognized the name of Stanford Law School.

“Uh-huh.” Evelin nodded.

After parking the car and going upstairs, Ethan followed his sister to a comprehensive office on the second floor.

After a simple knock on the door, about five or six seconds later, the tightly closed door was opened from the inside, and a figure appeared in front of them.

This is a middle-aged lady with brown curly hair, wearing a black sweater with a few flowers on it.

After seeing Evelin, she immediately laughed.

He opened his arms and gave Evelyn a big hug, "Oh~Evelyn~You're here~"

"Yes, Miss Barbara, I'm here."

Evelyn was equally enthusiastic and apologetically said, “I’m sorry to take up your free time.”

“No, No, No. It is our duty to use the law to help everyone in need.”

The teacher named Barbara shook her head repeatedly, denying being disturbed. She also said, "Besides, isn't my free time often occupied by you? If I remember correctly, you came three or four times in one week?"

“Wow~ That has nothing to do with me, right? It was Teacher Vinton who asked me to consult you!” When it came to this, Evelyn had something to say: “I believe that if it weren’t for the fact that using a phone and hearing aids together can easily cause electromagnetic interference and acoustic feedback anomalies, then the phone in your office might ring every day.”

This description made Teacher Barbara burst out laughing, and she shook her head and said, “Evelyn, are you saying that Vinton is long-winded?”

“No?” Evelin blinked and tilted her head, “Teacher Barbara, you can’t extend this idea! I’m just stating a fact that might happen.”

"Hahahaha~ I know, I know. Look how nervous you are."

Teacher Barbara did not continue on this topic, but turned her gaze to Ethan.

"Is this your brother? Ethan... Jones?"

"Yes, he is the Ethan I told you about." Evelyn introduced Barbara to Ethan, "Ethan, this is the teacher Barbara Babcock I told you about."

"Hello, Ms. Babcock."

Seeing that the topic had shifted to himself, Ethan took the initiative to greet them.

Barbara extended her hand enthusiastically, "Ethan, can I call you that?"

"Of course." Ethan nodded and shook hands eagerly.

"Okay, Ethan, you don't need to be so reserved here." After shaking hands, Barbara patted Ethan on the shoulder. "Young man, just call me Barbara like Evelyn does. Ms. Babcock sounds too weird. It feels like receiving a phone call and being sold junk stocks."

"Oh, Teacher Barbara, you are very humorous." Ethan smiled gentlemanly.

"Okay, don't stand at the door, come in and sit down." After a brief acquaintance, Teacher Barbara also made way and invited them in. At the same time, she pointed to the tea table. "You don't have to be polite to me. There are coffee and tea there. Make whatever you want to drink."

…………

In fact, Ethan Jones did not know Ms. Barbara, or in other words, in his memory of his previous life, there was no one named Barbara Babcock among the famous people active in America.

But after Evelyn introduced Barbara's resume to him, Ethan decisively chose her.

This lady named Barbara Babcock was born in 1938. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1960, and then went to Yale Law School to study law, and graduated from Yale with the Order of the Coif.

After that, she worked as a clerk for Judge Henry Edgerton of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, and then worked for Edward Williams, a well-known American criminal defense attorney. With the recommendation of these two bigwigs, she became the first director of the District of Columbia Public Defender Service in 1968.

And starting in 1972, he accepted Stanford's invitation to teach here.

This fact made her the first female law teacher in Stanford history.

Of course, her most amazing thing is not her career experience, but that she has been teaching courses on women and law at Georgetown University and Yale University since 1970, and has compiled and summarized the history of women's law in America in the past five years.

In Evelyn's words, that is -

"Ethan, Barbara is really an amazing person! This year she will publish a casebook on gender-based discrimination and the law. Many professors have read it and praised her for doing a great job and being a role model for all lawyers. If nothing goes wrong, this casebook will make her famous throughout America!"

When Ethan heard this, he immediately understood that Ms. Barbara was the lawyer suitable for him!
After all, respecting the law can only make you a qualified lawyer!

But taking a different approach on the legal path can allow you to control the magic!
Note: ① The Order of the Coif is an honorary medal for American law school graduates, which is only awarded to the top 10% of graduates each year. ② The case collection on gender discrimination written in the article is the second case collection on gender discrimination in American history. Barbara became famous in the entire American legal community with this case collection. Ginsburg, who had previously fought with Maga King, had highly praised Barbara in public many times.
