Do a better search. There is plenty of prior art.

French law?

France has a long standing legal requirement for people to assist a person in
danger.

It doesn't matter - Patent Lawyers can't drown
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, September 27 2012 @ 03:12 PM EDT

By Law they're provided with many, many floatation devices.

Now there are a few devices that can be used to remove the floatation devices - but those are almost never (if ever) actually used.

As a result, it is impossible for a Patent Lawyer to drown no matter how many attempts they make or how effective - in normal circumstances - such attempts would normally be.
