A purchase agreement is going to lay out the ground rules that the convertible note is going to be issued under such as who is buying the note, who is offering, the closing date, how to handle notices, what law will govern in certain situations, how litigation will be handled; most of these are categorized as representation and warranties by the issuer of the note. There also maybe Reps. and War. that the purchaser of the note must oblige by.

This is an extremely brief definition, and not to be taken as any legal advice.

This article misses one point, law school is expensive!

Students generally will want to pay their 6-figure debts with a matching salary.

When you don't have to worry about a huge debt, it allows you to be riskier and try other avenues, such as public interest, or work in small lesser known industries

Hey...You are absolutely right. I think I'm confusing separate fields when I should just pick one and focus on it.

Thanks! That was a pretty good video. Bookmarked.

Yes, I want to pick someones brain end to end about this topic. I feel I should try one of those start up weekends when one occurs, woul dbe the best place to meet a mentor there.

Yea eDiscovery is a big deal and in demand. I've been looking around to get a job as a legal counsel to a tech company, but in-house counsel positions usually require an attorney who is experienced and has worked in the field.

I am interested in what you've done so far, I don't see a way to e-mail you though, or I'm just retarded.

If you don't mind me asking where did you intern for you 2L summer? I spent most of my time doing clinical work and finishing up MPRE stuff.

Heh, I'm torn between tech and law! I like both and I've got ideas but not enough skill or time right now to complete them.

Ahhhh, I just checked, missed one for my location! Thanks for the info, I will be on the lookout!

Aye, that's the plan. I've been reading a few books about startups. I've read Venture Deals and I have worked with multiple agreements like stock purchase, asset purchase, note purchase, term loan credit agreements.

I have worked with fictitious clients in helping them incorporate, plan a business, initiate a stock purchase, asset purchase, and lastly, how to handle taxation.

I'm midway through The Lean Startup and unfortunately, I realize the startup field is dominated by engineers with inventions. I understand the purpose of funds like Ycombinator and techstars is to provide guidance for engineers and to help them understand the non-engineer aspects that go with running a company. I want some of that experience! They just don't offer it in my law school.

I've worked in a clinical program with real inventors, but it was directed towards helping them with trademarks and patents and not so much as helping them plan a business.

Surprising. The trackpad works well enough but when I do gestures the don't always get recognized, which leads to frustration.

Have you had problems with the space bar? I have to press it harder than normal to get it to register.

EDIT: I've been meaning to install linux on it, now I have a real good reason to try it out. What distro are you using?

they really did fug up the keyboard and trackpad. The 2 finger swipe to scroll like on macs barely works, you have to do it a few times to make it work. The keyboard, you can type well on it, but its not the most comfortable feeling and the space bar flat out sucks. I have to tap the SB pretty hard to have it register.

pretty much, its an amazing machine, except for the keyboard, and touchpad.

I could be nitpicking since its still a nice keyboard. However, for that price, you should expect perfection.

I am an owner of this new Vaio Z. The laptop itself is amazing: the battery life is excellent, good performance, high quality screen (1080p), extremely fast (raid 0 SSDs will do that).

The specs are amazing for this 2.5 lb laptop, but it still doesn't do justice to how disappointed I am with the keyboard. The travel distance is so minuscule, its uncomfortable to type on. You find yourself slapping keys but feeling like you didn't really press the key. The space bar sucks, you have to hit it pretty hard to make it register.

The trackpad is pretty small and awful, 2-finger gestures only works 50% of the time. I had to disable the fingerprint reader because it would activate everytime using the touchpad (you would always hit it by mistake).

Those are literally the only 2 things I dislike about this laptop, the keyboard and touchpad. I use a portable bluetooth mouse a lot (Razer Orochi) which does alleviate a lot of the touch pad issues, but the keyboard is god awful.

That said, the power media dock is a novel feature, external graphics, blu ray and all...I haven't used it once haha. I think that's because I have a nice custom built desktop, no reason to use the PMD.

EDIT: The keyboard is worse in my opinion in comparison to a macbook air which I owned for a year before I sold it.

I just wanted to add on top that, I tested out a Lenovo T420 edge...quite possibly one of the nicest keyboards I've ever typed on.
