OSCAR: I hate a friendly divorce. A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, any more than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.

Sanctions to be filed. Disgusting behavior from the feds here: pressuring jurors, removing jurors, omitting pages from the transcript of the indictment proceedings to misleed the district judge April Perry! Federal #Conspiracy charges dropped, trial canceled. #Misdemeanor charges remained.

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

But I've seen some outside of an educational context as well. This one is absolutely horrific. It's another case of a #lawyer using an LLM to generate #court filings of one type or another, without even checking its output to see if the brief makes sense, cites actual case #law, etc.
This is a #sanctions order from a #judge in this particular case. It is gripping reading.
https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/mississippi/msndce/1:2024cv00074/49169/79/0.pdfIn short: the lawyer was caught submitting briefs with "hallucinated" #citations, either to cases that did not exist, or to cases that were unrelated to the legal point the citation was being used to uphold. An opposing #counsel contacted their firm about such an incorrect citation, and the firm did some cleanup, did some continuing legal education, instituted an "AI" policy, instructed the #attorney about what was forbidden, etc. And then that attorney ... just kept on doing it. Even after judges started noticing problems in submissions, this lawyer just kept doing it.
It was so bad that it basically caused the #implosion of the law firm.
Incredible.

3) #Epstein Scandal Deepens #DOJ release of #Maxwell #audio creates more ? than answers.#scripted performance, #redactions everywhere, & rising suspicion prove. There is no video, Deputy #AG is a former #Trump personal #attorney. #maxwell was paid $35 million dollars by #JeffreyEpstein over the course of 3 years. For what? Watering the plants, walking the dog. This is a massive #coverup it does not #exonerate her, as #trump erases her 20 year sentence for #sextrafficking #immunity not #innocense

For 2 days of meandering questioning in Tallahassee, Fla., #Trump’s former #criminal defense #attorney turned DAG #ToddBlanche gave #convicted #sextrafficker #GhislaineMaxwell ample opportunity to #rehabilitate herself at the expense of victims like #VirginiaGiuffre
Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley, who represents hundreds of #JeffreyEpstein #survivors, said that #Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly #lied on the record and the government” in these #transcripts.

#SiliconValley #Shysters Indicted : Founder of #SanFrancisco based #AI chatbot company and his #Georgetown JD lawyer wife have been indicted on over 20 counts for investment #fraud schemes that prosecutors say raked in $60 Million via use of #forgery, identity theft, faked #financial statements etc
The wife, also the firm's #attorney, faces an additional 20 years in #prison for obstruction of #justice if convicted along with husband in schemes to foster their unlawful lavish lifestyles. At one point the legal #scam fraudulently showed #investors documents ensuring they had a $13m cash balance in the account and $69m in annual revenues when their real bank balance was $25.93
#Funders involved in feeding the greedy fake paper corporation included household name celebs like #SnoopDogg and #JoeMontana.
Prior to this week's #indictments, the #scheme first unraveled 6 months ago when an article appeared at #VentureBeat announcing abrupt departure of now indicted #CEO.

Jennifer Rubin: The recommendation of Eastman’s #disbarment is a big deal — for tRump
"A State Bar Court of California judge on Wednesday recommended stripping John Eastman, Donald Trump’s former #attorney, of his California law license. Eastman, mastermind of the former president’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election results by recruiting phony electors, is not the first ex-Trump lawyer to face discipline over election-related matters."

ICYMI - from 2019:
VERIFY: does Gov. #JanetMills' brother have ties to #CMPCorridor project?
NEWS CENTER #Maine verifies #PeterMills' involvement in the CMP corridor.
July 3, 2019
"In the last year, we have been bombarded with questions and concerns surrounding the #CMP transmission line project.
"Most recently, some of those concerns from you at home have shifted to Governor Janet Mills' support behind the project -- more specifically, if her brother, Peter Mills, has any ties to the corridor or if he has anything to gain from it.
"To verify these claims, NEWS CENTER Maine spoke with Peter Mills himself and referenced these public documents -- 'The Memorandum of Understanding between Central Maine Power Company and Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation'.
Here's what we found out.
"Mills does currently sit on the board of a charitable non-profit called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation, an organization established back in 2017.
"He admits the non-profit has ties to CMP and the corridor project, but he says it's a very specific partnership.
"'The purpose of the corporation was to negotiate with #CentralMainePower and possibly #HydroQuebec to see to it that they would put together terms to mitigate in a public and charitable way, to mitigate for the impact of the power line if it were built.' says Mills. [I've seen this tactic before -- with #MaineTurnpikeAuthority donations to non-profits affected by #highway expansion]
"Public documents detail this agreement between the two entities, which includes CMP's requirement to provide $250,000 dollars to the non-profits trust fund; for start-up costs and other proceedings.
"It has been used to hire an #attorney to represent the interests of the #corporation in the #Legal proceedings before the #PUC and #LERK and the #DEP, and in negotiating for any mitigation terms including the creation of land rights of way in the #KennebecValley." says Mills."

The #Trump Cases
Former #DOJ #attorney acted under #Trump’s #direction, his #lawyer says
#JeffreyClark did not appear at the #hearing, where he is seeking to move his #FultonCounty #EIectionInterference case on the grounds that he was acting in his federal capacity. -
John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.
