Thank you to the NJC 60th Anniversary Event for not falling into the trap of doom and gloom regarding AI. Very insightful presentations.
I think our next steps should be: how can ai make lawyers more ethical? (As opposed to the typical focus on us making ai more ethical)

Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well.

I’m a whole ass attorney and I was today years old when I learned that the show “Suits” did not actually get its name from the characters wearing suits all the time

I get the uproar about a lawyer submitting fake cases using ChatGPT. That lawyer should be suspended.

The thing I would really like to see an uproar about is lawyers who make up what real cases stand for. In my market, the largest firms do this the most.

They get away with it because of the name on their letterhead. It is gross.

Who wants to see some data on what separates amazing legal writing from the run-of-the-mill stuff?

We compared 50 legal briefs from across the country with a random sample of 10 Justice Kagan opinions.

Any differences?

Oh, yea.

Here's some of what we found. 1/x

By including offenses based on harmful speech in the upcoming UN Cybercrime Treaty, governments will be provided a framework to exploit and abuse laws to stifle lawful speech and free expression. Speech related offenses should be excluded from the Treaty. https://t.co/hcVelgKjON

“I want an abortion” is reason enough to have an abortion. Nothing else needed. All these hypotheticals and dishonest preambles are exhausting.
