U.S. News deciding law school rankings

Lawyer: Whatever you do, please refrain from making any comments on social media about the case Client:

The ultimate role for humans is agency and accountability. It's worth paying a premium for. If your lawyer or your doctor screw something up, they can be held accountable in many ways. They have motivations you can align with agency to act on them. You can't hold Claude accountable for providing bad advice, any more than you can hold Google accountable. This extends to companies — companies operating in a vertical have something to lose, even if their offering performs at a similar level to a general solution. They get paid for having accountability and for their agency towards solving the problem. General solutions may offer benefits like fewer vendors to manage, cost savings, and customizability, but you're on your own.

@chiajy2000 I’m afraid their seed round has already been direct deposited

@heyitsalexsu I was having a convo with a lawyer about this who was annoyed because “(I) personally have 10B in transacted contracts, where’s my seed round?”

Biglaw watching all these AI native law firms raise massive rounds of funding

“You’re telling me that I can just invite this AI to the board meeting instead of my GC? That’s what you’re saying? You sure about that? Because that’s a hell of a move.”

Unikowsky was prepared because Claude had already asked him this question during moots.

Great article on how AI is actually used in law practice. The "things it's good at" vs. "things it's not good at" is really interesting, lets you get a sense of where the tech is at today. It's still some ways away from being able to replace human judgment.

NDAs are a great way to keep your corporate secrets safe from 1 or 2 beers but not 3 beers

“AI will reduce the demand for legal work in the future!” The future:

Saving you 6 figures…so far

assimilating on X and LinkedIn requires olympic-level identity fragmentation

Private equity offering law firm partners greater operational efficiency

@eddienasser Tedium is not the only obstacle

@heyitsalexsu Why do you need to do that? The best MSO will add agents to do it for them

Insightful and balanced article about the MSO trend. On paper it sounds like a perfect workaround to enable PE to invest in law firms. But good luck convincing a veteran rainmaker to fill out notes in Salesforce.
