#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.)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/117209346171417433
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.)

If #LawFedi knows any attorneys with their own #LawFirm and motivation to grow, there is a trial of what a niche #SmallBusiness coaching program is all about on June 3rd in #Atlanta.
It's an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, the goal being to get real exposure for what’s possible at the next level, and see the value of #coaching by actually being in the room.

Moyle v. Idaho officially released
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-726_6jgm.pdfDismissed as improvidently granted and Court's stays vacated
Kagan: I concur in the Court’s decision today to vacate its stay
and dismiss the writ of certiorari before judgment as improvidently granted. I do so because Idaho’s arguments
about EMTALA do not justify, and have never justified, either emergency relief or our early consideration of this dispute.#SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #abortion #Idaho #law #lawfedi #lawprof #EMTALA

Anyway, the issues in #LKQvGM are ones I've been thinking about for a long time.
In fact, I wrote about #KSR & design patents in my very first law review article: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1926162

And before anyone says "but look at the outcome in #MooreVHarper" note - the Court decided the Constitution did not immunize legislatures from their courts. A justice who wants to undo court reform legislation would have no problem squaring that circle.

Taking a broader view of #FairvHarvard, the majority opinion and the concurrences fit the #Lochner paradigm. As in #Dobbs and #Bruen, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett all stake out a position divorced from the reality of American life and arrived at by radical, formalist reasoning. Ultimately, dissatisfaction with this sort of decisionmaking led to the New Deal legal revolution. Dissatisfaction with it may yet birth another sea change in US law. 10/10 #LawFedi

Here’s an accessible, clear analysis of the Supreme Court decision in #MoorevHarper, succinctly explaining how state constitutions as interpreted by state courts will continue to constrain wild efforts by state legislatures to interfere with rights to ballot access.

I've read #MooreVHarper, and am pleased the "Independent State Legislature" doctrine was rejected.
But other than dry legal arguments, I've not seen discussion from proponents as to *why* they think it is good public policy to give politicians the power to negate elections they disagree with.
If we claim to live in a Constitutional Republic, how can anyone with a straight face argue that the VP *should have* the power to negate single-handedly the results of a presidential election, or that a state legislature *should have* the power to set aside elections?
If our Constitution truly allowed elections to be negated that easily, our system would be little better than China or the former Soviet Union. The fact that two of our justices value democracy so little that they would allow that is concerning.

Kavanaugh and Barrett blinked.

The decisions from which Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas are the dissenters are the best decisions we can get from this Supreme Court. #LawFedi #MooreVharper

"Leo, a key figure in a network of nonprofits that has worked to support the nominations of conservative judges, told Conway that he wanted her to “give” Ginni Thomas “another $25K,” the documents show. He emphasized that the paperwork should have “No mention of Ginni, of course.”"
