  2. A quotation from Lincoln

    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.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1850), Notes for a Law Lecture (fragment)

  3. 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.

    In 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.

  4. #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.
