  6. Apparently #Westlaw is unwilling (or unable) to stop billing their customers for subscriptions after the customer requests that they not be renewed.

    I have records of my original non-renewal request, correspondence with an account rep showing that my subscription would not be renewed, and copies of my email to everyone involved after Westlaw informed me that they were going to keep billing my credit card for a plan that no longer existed. In that email I made it very clear that I would NOT be happy if my credit card got billed again.

    Guess what? It got billed again.

    Utterly fascinating. Document #32, affadavit of Stephen Schwartz, is the most interesting.

    Moral of the story: don’t use #ChatGPT to perform your legal (and probably other) research without verifying everything it comes up with through another channel.

  25. It constantly stuns me that when I search the exact name of the cases I am looking for, in the state jurisdiction where it is located, #Westlaw will still make it the 10th result and throw random cases citing to that case first.

    Like c'mon, what are we doing here.
