Too many of you were told as kids you'd make a great lawyer without realizing that adult was calling you a dick.

Productivity Hack: I saved at least an hour at my last family reunion when I had AI summarize everyones baby photos and videos. Cut the presentation down by like 90% YoY.

The hardest part of my job is being a juvenile lawyer at 5ft tall and most of my 14 year old clients are taller than me. Like good morning judge, Alyssa Leader on behalf of Braden and if you need he can lift me up closer to the podium.

I am surprised that social media and AI companies aren't ahead of the curve on labeling, its such an easy win... in August 2026 EU AI Act and California SB 942 come into effect, while both China (CAC) and India (IT Rules) already require metadata marking.

@JohnSexton8676 @moultano Its not that simple, in Europe for example you do a 6 year medical degree instead of the US 4 year undergrad + 4 year med school.

Law school is the same, Europe varies but often 5-8 years and in UK you do extra school anyways to litigate (barrister).

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

@moultano Why not start in high school since its more efficient? Or middle school to really get ahead? Hell why not pick a job at birth and only teach you the things you need for that job.

3 final interviews in the past two weeks were canceled, the roles themselves dissolved - coincidence or news/economy? Puzzled

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

Defining skills as "hard" or "soft" is so insidious, I propose we throw out the terms entirely.

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

@LRNROSE @Dictionarycom @LRNROSE can apparently define every word they know on command. Are you hiring?

@BigMeanInternet Sadly they are getting pumped out on kindle for people to purchase accidentally.

@420mercymain69 @floridamodern1 Wait, $400 monthly and you aren't even using heat????

Breaking news. The "Judge, they already confiscated all the drugs. The danger to the community has been taken care of," argument didn't go over as well as I would've liked it to

Can’t believe I waited so long to hire full time employees. Was working until 1AM every night and the was effectively talking to myself all day. Not healthy if you’re trying to grow a firm (or live generally).

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

I am writing articles for fun on topical issues and really enjoying it. Alas methinks I have been reading too much historical lit.

I'll need to remove the liberal sprinkling of "thereby", "heretofore", and "whence" and count myself lucky I didn't drop a "forsooth" or "betwixt"

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

I’m getting entire emails from clients drafted by AI. Random bolded words. Mid paragraph bulleted lists. Rationale included for every thought.

Can’t even bother to take on the task of writing “Hi Matt.” We’re doomed.

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

@bubbleboi That doesn't seem to be supported by the evidence.... Top attorneys are often the best paid, but paying a lot DOES NOT guarantee a great attorney.

Big Law firms only win 7% more than small ones in aggregate, and often lose to specialist boutiques. https://t.co/JJ4mFC2X5n

@ItsMattsLaw We call that a sole proprietorship, you can lose your house

New challenge, describe America's privacy laws without calling it a "patchwork"

[Connor C. @ConnorColson]

Its a good addition! Just interesting how specific it is compared to the rest of the bill.

The Florida Digital Bill of Rights might as well have just named Google, Amazon, and Apple.
