  6. I’m reading some of the briefs that have been filed with the Roberts Court re the Trump regime’s effort to get the Roberts Six to stay Judge Talwani’s preliminary injunction prohibiting Trump and USPS from taking over vote-from-home in the 2026 election.

  16. #LegalEthics Tidbit: Is “panic” a good excuse for #AI hallucinations?

    An Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) in NC “submitted a brief containing fabricated quotations and misstatements of case holdings” that were hallucinated by #AI. The AUSA initially did not admit AI use, but claimed the “error was clerical in nature and resulted from the inadvertent filing of an unfinalized draft document.” At a later show cause hearing, the AUSA stated that ...

  21. 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.

  26. Pre-print of our Open Access Cambridge UP volume, Rhetorical Traditions and Contemporary Law, is up. This volume explores the often-overlooked relationship between law and rhetoric. Twelve case studies examine a diverse range of legal texts and rhetorical traditions
    from ancient times to the present. The volume demonstrates the value of rhetoric in understanding and addressing some of today's most pressing legal and social challenges. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.489297 #TeamRhetoric #LegalWriting #Lawfedi

  27. We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/c
