Candor to the court means correcting a judge's mistake. Appellate rules don't let you 'play gotcha' by waiting for errors. You must act when you see them. #LegalTips #Courtroom

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

Can't object to time limits without stating *why*. You need to explain the complexity: multiple witnesses, expert testimony, and cross-examination all require adequate time. Presenting the best interests of the children demands thoroughness. #LegalTips #Courtroom

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

Control the witness on cross-examination with subtle cues: a raised hand, a facial expression, or a stop sign. Get them to stop talking without them even realizing you directed it. #LegalTips #CrossExamination

ChatGPT is being unfairly blamed for societal issues. People hurt people; technology doesn't cause that. Let's address the real problems instead of scapegoating AI. #AIethics #SocietalIssues

When evidence is excluded, the easiest move is to offer it immediately as proof. Just a few seconds: 'May I tender it to the court reporter as an offer of proof?' Done. You've checked that box. #LegalTech #Courtroom

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

ChatGPT and other AI entities owe society a duty to be beneficial, not to cause harm. This means creating products that bring good, not instructions on how to maximize negative impact. #AICare #TechEthics

Does ChatGPT have a duty to prevent misuse by bad actors? Society grapples with AI's ethical boundaries, questioning if AI platforms should actively police their use to prevent harm. #AICode #Ethics #Responsibility

Preservation is an ongoing conversation with the court, not just a single moment. It's about continuous engagement and dialogue. #Preservation #Court

AI is already showing its potential to cure diseases like cancer and advance longevity medicine. The future of healthcare is being reshaped by artificial intelligence. #AI #Healthcare #FutureTech

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

Does OpenAI owe a duty to society not to give murderers info on how to better murder people? The question of silence vs. public duty is critical. #OpenAI #Ethics #Safety

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

A judge telling you to stop objecting doesn't mean you stop. If you have an obligation to object, you object. Don't let intimidation silence your duty. #LegalTips #Objections

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

People don't kill people; tools don't kill people. ChatGPT is currently a scapegoat for society's problems, and that misplaced blame hinders real solutions. #AIChatbot #Technology

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

We often over-regulate, losing balance. While some regulation is necessary to deter bad actors, we must ensure it's applied thoughtfully, not excessively. #Regulation #Balance

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

If you'd be embarrassed for a judge to hear your objection aloud, it's not specific enough. Preservation requires clear, precise objections so the judge understands your issue. #LegalTips #Objections

As a former criminal defense lawyer, I learned a valuable lesson from a mentor about juvenile defense work. #LawyerLife #CriminalDefense

When building a case, think like an appellate lawyer. Work backward from the appeal, strategizing how to win it from the start. It's about foresight, not just the initial hearing. #LegalStrategy #Appeals

[Michelle ONeil @michellemoneil]

From agents going rogue in January to rapid advancements by September, the pace of AI development is staggering. While regulation is needed, the progress in just 9 months is almost hard to comprehend. #AI #TechProgress

My family lineage suggests I'll live to 120! To enjoy those extra decades, I need to ensure financial security and maintain my health. It's all about planning for a long, vibrant future. #Longevity #Health #Finance
