#LegalEthics Tidbit: Why would I want a free legal advice from a person when #AI tells me what I want to hear?

A frequent pro se plaintiff in MI (with “over decades” of litigation experience) consistently “wasted the resources of the Court and defendants by filing frivolous motions and unauthorized documents without regard to court rules or prior orders,” even after he was warned of sanctions. He “flooded” the docket ... (cont.)

#LegalEthics Tidbit: You can tell your #AI-generated legal argument is probably wrong when it’s exactly what you wanted.

A pro se litigant in NY Supreme Ct. filed a flood of #AI generated motions. The judge took the opportunity to deliver a mini-treatise on AI. In particular, the Court warned the litigant that “AI search engines are created to be sycophantic and flattering to the user” by creating a “feedback loops that are meant to ... (cont.)

#LegalEthics Tidbit: If my client wants to falsely call the judge a child predator, should I just pass on that accusation under my letterhead?

A NJ Lawyer was hired for an in-house counsel job by client going through a divorce, and the lawyer soon found himself representing the client individually in the divorce. In the context of lawsuit, the client repeatedly authored wild accusations about the judge that the lawyer ... (cont.)

Taught Zeran vs. AOL today and set a timer on loop to go off every 2 minutes. It was annoying, which was the point!

Context: Zeran vs. AOL was a landmark Section 230 case. Zeran claimed to receive tons of hate calls, due to an anon user’s AOL posts falsely linking Zeran to offensive merchandise, w/call frequency peaking at 1 call every 2 min.

The big Q the court had to decide was whether S230 protected AOL from liability. Spoiler alert: They said yes!
