#lawfedi — Public Fediverse posts

In one of my 1782 cases, the D. Del. recently denied a motion to vacate when the documents were sought for use in prospective Italian patent infringement litigation. The courts will not allow "fishing," but when you have a basis to bring a foreign claim and you seek evidence needed to plead the case, Section 1782 can be a lifesaver.

#LegalEthics Tidbit: Can I partner with an ABS if my state doesn’t allow them?

An Alternative Business Structure (ABS) is essentially a law firm owned in part by non-lawyers, which is a no-no in most states but not in AZ. SC does not allow ABS structures, but an AZ ABS wanted to find a SC lawyer to take SC lawyer cases. The deal would be that the ABS finds the clients, then gets local counsel to do most, if not ...

#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.

Today is a good day to remind folk about the Declaration on Free Access to Law (https://falm.info/declaration/).

It declares, among other things that: "Public legal information is digital common property and should be accessible to all on a non-profit basis and free of charge"

There is a peculiar tyranny to working without KPIs. #inhouse #LawFedi thoughts?

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Looking forward to presenting my forthcoming article, "The Counterfeit Sham" at #IPSC2024 today.

Draft available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4549909

And I guess now is as good a time as any to share: I'm rebranding!

I'll be publishing this article as "Sarah Fackrell" (FACK-rull).

The best is yet to come.

"Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools."

Does any one know if there's an equivalent for #lawyers? #LawFedi #lawprofs #inhouse

After some life advice #lawfedi, #inhouse #tech - I'm realising that I'll always be replaceable as a legal resource. But I don't know what to do with this information. Don't like the idea of just cruising. Not sure a 'forever' job exists in our industry...

Separately, #FaniWillis also attacks Meadows’ claims that because he was doing the President’s bidding he should have immunity from #FultonCounty prosecution. #Meadows tries to rely on the #SupremacyClause, the provision of the U.S. Constitution that says federal law takes precedence over state law. Meadows claims that Trump was somehow enforcing U.S. election law, a federal responsibility that cannot be the subject of a state criminal prosecution. 5/ #LawFedi

Oh, wow, they went there:

"There is also good reason to believe that the Plaintiff and its law firm have agreed to pursue this case on a contingent fee basis, and that such arrangement may have motivated the improper conduct identified herein."

This false imprisonment case is all too reminiscent of the false imprisonment claims married women tried, but were not allowed, to assert under coverture and chattel marriage law. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/alabama-case-over-mistaken-pregnancy-highlights-risks-post-roe-world-2022-12-01/ #torts #tortLaw #LawFedi

Judge Gamble, at today’s post verdict conference: “There is no question to me this is a rare instance that is so severe, where a defendant intentionally inflicted severe emotional distress in a manner so unusual, that the victims had no other recognized theory of redress.” #Law #LawFedi #TortLaw #Defamation #Damages 3/3
