  1. #LegalEthics Tidbit: Should I get sanctioned for #AI hallucinations if I clean up my own mess before anyone else has noticed?

    A MS lawyer was ordered to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for hallucinated citations in a brief to a federal court. In response, the lawyer stated that he practices alone so his client, “acting in the capacity of paralegal,” drafted the brief, and the lawyer did not properly review the citations. The lawyer ...

  7. Violence has a linguistic dimension that's often overlooked.

    A study in the Turkish Journal of Hygiene and Experimental Biology found a clear link between physical violence and "discursive violence" — the harmful language of influential figures, which followers apply more aggressively. Three factors are at play: the perpetrator, the victim, and the cause of violence. Media and law focus on the first two; the hidden driver is the third.

    Family, social and psychological support mechanisms, peers, education, and media all matter. But respectful language isn't just politeness — it can be an evidence-based violence prevention strategy.

  8. Some tips for #Charlotte based on the #Chicago area experience:

    Create and circulate lists of local #immigration attorneys in the area who are taking on “detained cases” when people are arrested by presumed #ICE or #CPB. Also share legal aid fund info.

    Make yard signs and flyers with “know your rights” and who to call in English and Spanish. Photo is of an Illinois organization flyer with that info.

    Some attorneys were successful in filing #habeas petitions to prevent detainees from being moved.

  10. no one ever knows how long these things take, but you can imagine a quick verdict being good for musk and bad for plaintiffs because there's a lot of maths to do if they find liability, but we really won't know until we know!

  11. the Tesla Securities trial v. Elon Musk in N.D. Cal. in Judge Chen's courtroom will have closing arguments tomorrow morning and will be in the hands of the jury within about 2 1/2 hours after the opening bell Friday

    things will kick off as usual at 8:30am PT

    same link, same bat channel:

    despite defendants' best efforts to show absolutely no shame, they will in fact be going second and plaintiff will get rebuttal

    "Replacing lawyers with the public at the center of the legal system will be like replacing the sun with the earth at the center of the solar system. In retrospect it will be hilariously obvious, but some folks will have to be Galileo'ed in order to get us there."
