404 Media: Lawyer Cites ChatGPT-Invented Fake Witnesses in Murder Appeal. “A lawyer used ChatGPT to generate briefs that included completely made-up witnesses and testimony while representing a man accused of shooting his wife. When he was caught by the judges, the lawyer blamed it on his own ‘stupidity.'”

The King’s Square Circus: When Justice Becomes a Stage Play by Lawson Akhigbe
There is an old legal maxim that justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done. Somewhere between Osadebe Avenue and King’s Square, however, that venerable principle was evidently fed into a shredder, doused in kerosene, and traded for prime-time television ratings. -

This is a UK take but I think it applies to North American lawyers as well. Professional conduct has devolved to "not illegal" rather than the much higher traditional bar the the professional rules require:
"[The legal profession] must discern the public interest for itself. It cannot expect a regulator to translate the public interest into a set of rules."

#LLRX 13 #AI #Books For #lawyers An Opinionated Guide. There’s an obvious objection to recommending books about AI: timeliness. Any book about tools themselves is out of date by the time it’s printed. But that misses the point. Good books are still better than a vendor demo or a LinkedIn post at providing a framework for understanding what these systems do well, where they break down, and which failures should worry someone holding a bar card. #education #communications https://www.llrx.com/2026/09/thirteen-ai-books-for-lawyers-an-opinionated-guide/

Liz Wheeler: Antifa isn't 'decentralized' — it's funded, trained, and protected

Not great news for legal profession but I'm glad someone is doing the research. Update of 2016 research into lawyer mental health found levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were all higher (32.7%, 26.9%, 30.2%), hazardous drinking lower (26.4%) (differences are a comparison, not an estimate of change due to samples). Almost half met threshold for high or very high burnout, one-third for work-family conflict. (n=36,925)

A Tale of Two Locations and One Citizenship by Lawson Akhigbe
Passports are supposed to be the great equalizers of national identity. If two people carry the green-backed book stamped with the Nigerian coat of arms, the constitution insists they share the exact same claim to fundamental dignity and justice. But citizenship, like roaming data on a prepaid SIM, appears to depend entirely on which borders your passport happens to cross.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/09/19/a-tale-of-two-locations-and-one-citizenship-by-lawson-akhigbe/

Bail: Nigeria’s Grand Illusion of Justice, Where “Granted” Means “Good Luck Finding a Ghost Surety” by Lawson Akhigbe
In the theater of Nigerian criminal justice, bail is the sparkling prop they wheel out to dazzle the audience with tales of constitutional benevolence, only for the curtain to fall on a punchline so absurd it would make a stand-up comedian blush. Our dear leaders preach presumption of innocence while tying defendants in knots tighter than a Lagos traffic jam. Let's dissect this farce with the cold scalpel of statute, constitution, and case law—before contrasting it with the recent […] -

Twenty Years Late and Several Republics Short: On EJ, Atiku and Nigeria’s Habit of Reheating Cold Corruption by Lawson Akhigbe
In 1999, Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar rode into Aso Rock together, a presidential double act that Nigerians assumed would age like most political marriages: quietly, then not at all. They survived one term. They won a second in 2003. Then, somewhere in that second term, Obasanjo discovered a constitutional itch that the 1999 Constitution's two term, eight year ceiling on the presidency simply would not scratch. He wanted a third term. Atiku, nursing a presidential ambition of his own and possessed of the inconvenient habit of reading the Constitution literally, said so publicly. The friendship ended there. -
