@OGNadales@ProsecutorsPod Will never understand bar licensed lawyers copy and pasting from ai into a filing. If you let ai right a whole brief how do you not look through it and see cases you’ve never seen before
Lawyers. If you're going to use chatgpt to research, at least run the cites through westlaw and see if they exist. On long briefs I'll use chatgpt AFTER the brief is written to check for grammar and to cite check. Not often, but occasionally, it will tell me a key case stands for the opposite proposition I cited it for. That's a pretty important find...if true. Guess what? It's never true. AI is a tool to get to the destination. It is not the destination.
@AnthonyMKreis Is he saying that common law is compounded of statutes? Wouldn’t that be a direct contradiction because you need a state to create a statute and we took the common law from England.
@kaitlancollins 3am, alcohol, near body of water, separated from friends. We have seen this too many times, sea, ocean, lake, river. Hoping for the best.
@libertarianelle I feel like if anything, they’re *more* likely to convict based on these facts, despite the presence of substantial reasonable doubt (imo)
@stephen_richer You forgot to mention how dumb it is that Speaker of House stands up and down to lead the applause. I used to mock Nancy Pelosi for that (and I am on her side....)
Opinions I've held for the past 4 presidents:
- The SOTU is 99% theater.
- It should be a written letter delivered to Congress.
- No pauses for clapping. Charge through.
- The rebuttals are silly -- whether they are in a kitchen or not.
- They shouldn't touch electoral politics.
Ok so is it odd for the judge in #EdrickFaustTrial to say the juror's actual name on live TV that wanted to be removed— instead of using her juror # or whatever it's called to keep her identity private?
I'm genuinely curious.
@chrispatrick@megynkelly I agree. Hated the movie. My husband thought it was good because it made you think from the different perspectives. No thanks.
What is a good thriller out right now? Enjoyed All Her Fault with Sara Snook… the Claire Danes/Matthew Rhys series … best one ever was Presumed Innocent…
