@UsmanAbidemiEsq Canadian law here - improperly or indecently interfering with, or offering an indignity to, a dead human body. Indictable offence, up to 5 years in jail. You cannot attempt to murder that which is already deceased.
More lawyers misusing AI (Westlaw's CoCounsel):
6th Cir. opinion today focuses on criminal defense attorney who "used artificial intelligence to draft the briefs in this case and then filed them without properly verifying the cited legal authorities."
"The first tell" that AI use was in play was the file name of the principal brief: "CoCounsel Skill Results."
"CoCounsel is the name of Westlaw’s internal artificial-intelligence platform."
"Further suspicions arose" when the briefs included three fake quotations and several misrepresented case holdings.
Lawyer admitted he directed a staff member to upload district court docs to CoCounsel to create a first draft of the brief.
He said this was his first time using Westlaw CoCounsel.
Court notes that the fact that the cases are real, and only the quotes were fake, "does not absolve him."
"The fact remains that Howe committed inexcusable transgressions during the appellate phase of this case. And that misconduct had consequences."
Sanctions:
-Lawyer will not be compensated under Criminal Justice Act for time spent on the appeal.
-Referred to Chief Judge of 6th Cir. to consider disciplinary proceedings.
-Opinion to be served on E.D. Ky. chief judge and clerk and Disciplinary Clerk for Kentucky Bar Association.
-Lawyer removed from further representation in the case.
Law school teaches you the law.
Lawyering teaches you to keep a straight face and be professional when someone tells you the most absolute batshit set of facts you have ever heard and then says “I have a great case right?”.
@soldierslim1193@naturalherbs100@Ojoma321 “Help with”? Clearly single and in your mother’s basement. Men guilt trip women for taking time to do anything for themselves while they have all the time in the world to do what they want because SHE looks after everything else. While working full time too.
HOLY F: Disney Cast Member Potentially Injured Stopping Runaway Boulder at Indiana Jones Stunt Show
A boulder derailed during the Raiders of the Lost Ark reenactment at Hollywood Studios, heading toward guests. Before it reached them, a cast member stepped in to stop it and was knocked down hard.
The cast member was eventually helped up slowly by others.
@GarindoG@Intl_Relations0 An entire “be sweet”society . Smile and ignore. Don’t cause a scene. Don’t embarrass HIM. She finally had enough of his shit-after she told him nicely, repeatedly to keep his hands to himself. His being bold is just a sign of a pig who has repeatedly taken advantage of that
@PuckPolitic@EricLDaugh Man you guys are just …. Hopeless and drunk on the koolaid. Harper was the CONSERVATIVE Prime Minister of Canada when Russia was ousted. It had nothing to do with Trudeau
