    #LegalEthics Tidbit: If I tell my client to lie to the court and she refuses, have I engaged in deceptive conduct?

    A VA lawyer told his client their case would benefit from a continuance, so he advised her to feign an illness and lie to the court about it in order to get a continuance. The lawyer advised her also to lie to her doctor: “say ‘I’ve been pooping my butt off and I’ve been throwing up… and they’ll give you some nausea ... (cont.)

    #LegalEthics Tidbit: How can I make my #AI hallucinations sanctions worse, without even using #AI again?

    A FL lawyer submitted a cert. petition to the District Court of Appeal that “cited a non-existent case allegedly from this Court and cited other cases that do not support this proposition.” In response to an order to show cause the lawyer acknowledged that “his normal process is to have artificial intelligence (“AI”) software research ...

    RE: mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma

    In the thread at the quoted post, I focused on the status of the litigation against Trump/USPS unconstitutionally taking over the process of ballots being mailed to voters who vote from home (e.g, voters who use absentee ballots or vote-by-mail ballots). Bottom line, Trump DoJ sure is acting like they know the Roberts Six will find a way to ok this on procedural grounds, leaving the merits of the case unaddressed.

    But let’s suppose for a moment that this doesn’t happen. 1/ #LawFedi

    Ok, take a deep breath everyone. I’m going to try to explain what is going on in California v. Trump/League of Women Voters v. Trump, the combined cases being heard by Judge Indira Talwani in the Massachusetts District Court, challenging Trump and USPS efforts to take over vote-from-home and disrupt the general election. 1/ #LawFedi

    #LegalEthics Tidbit: Is #AI misuse driving up the nuisance (and settlement) value of cases?

    A MS mother filed a pro se federal court complaint alleging that a school district failed to provide an education suited to the needs of her disabled child. She used “AI programs to generate an excessive number of overlong motions and thereby drive up the costs of defending this case for defendants … giving the appearance that she may be ... (cont.)

    #LegalEthics Tidbit: Should I save money by letting #AI assert my discovery objections for me?

    In a workers’ compensation dispute in CA federal court between a worker and an insurance company, the insurance company submitted discovery objections and a privilege log, and the worker moved to compel further responses. The court observed that it “cannot overstate how gravely concerned it is by the rambling and often inapplicable objections ... (cont.)

    #LegalEthics Tidbit: Can I intimidate an adverse witness by invoking their immigration status?

    Because we live in the worst timeline, the PA Bar received a spate of inquiries “related to attorneys questioning and invoking the immigration status of participants in legal proceedings.” The genesis of at least some of these inquires appears to have been an incident in 2025 when several defense attorneys threatened to report a ...
