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.

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 ...

tfw even john “torture memos” yoo, literally the guy who invented the legal justification for things like #waterboarding, drone strikes on unarmed civilians, and permanent imprisonment at #guantanamo for anyone deemed an “enemy combatant”, is like “yo morons you can’t just blow up civilians with missiles any time you feel like it just because they're on a boat”

#RobertaKaplan and #ShawnCrowley have demonstrated the highest ideals of the American #legal system. With tremendous skill and tenacity they used the law to demand and get civil justice for their client. Today, I am proud to be a scholar and teacher of American law, and specifically of #tort law (#defamation, the gravamen of #EJeanCarroll suit is a tort). May my torts students all do as much for justice as Kaplan and Crowley have. #LawFedi #LawTeaching

More big trouble for #biglaw.

"Cooley LLP has postponed the start date for its incoming class of first-year associates to Jan 2024. The law firm, founded in Silicon Valley, had laid off 150 lawyers and staff from its offices across the US in 2022. Cooley was one of the biggest recruiters of new talent during the pandemic, but shifting economic conditions have led to a slowdown in demand for business transactions work.”
