@TiredBambooLaw @BarExamTutor I would say that’s more true for the others. PW’s brand was very similar to Wilmer’s. The deal—and being the fist that took it—killed that. I am sure the firm will live on, but it will never recover the identity that it lost.
English
@BarExamTutor haha that's fair. my more cynical take is that some law firms rely on government consent for their work (aka FTC/regulatory approval for M&A deals, for example), and some law firms don't (because they litigate either way).
English
If what he said to this class were true, we’re left with two possibilities.
1: Every firm that did not settle with Trump is now dead or will as a consequence of not settling be dead.
2: There’s something unique about his firm, such that it would have died if choosing not to settle, even if other law firms would not face the same consequences for that same decision.
Neither of the above sound to me all that plausible.

Brad Karp, the former chairman of Paul Weiss, defended the firm’s settlement with the Trump administration during a Harvard Law School class on April 15, telling students it was needed for the firm’s survival. @SierraRPape and @uybpham report. thecrimson.com/article/2026/4…

@cljack @SteveTheobald70 We were getting targeted ads for PMCs for a while. Left my daughter with grand ideas for invading small countries.

@SteveTheobald70 I mean, how are they supposed to know those aren't consumer products!

@Noahpinion I’m not even sure if it’s the ideology. It might just be them personally.

Crazy underperformance for the Dems here.
Dems don't seem to realize how much America *hates* progressive ideology.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
Unlike in 2006 & 2018 cycles, the GOP actually leads the Dems on net favorability at this point! The national environment suggests GOP holding the Senate. Why? Generic ballot (Dems in a weaker position than 2006 or 2018), Senate map (Dems need pickups in red states) & history.

@writeclimbrun But what if you hid it really well?

@GsuGrinding @YoungEx20 As an alumnus of the DC office, I agree.

@KatzD @YoungEx20 If it’s possible to Stan for a big law firm, Wilmer Cutler & Pickering would be on my short list lol. They have done really important work.
English
@YoungEx20 @GsuGrinding While Cutler played an important role in ending apartheid, Hale and Dorr created the billable hours
English
@GsuGrinding So Cutler, Pickering and Dorr just get hosed? I’m very unfamiliar with how big law works

@SellersCounsel I think you bill for the time it took. If you went down a rabbit hole on your own you would do the same. You may offer to write down the time as a client relations issue, but that is your choice.
English
Alright all you AI for Lawyers experts, I have an ethical dilemma I need you to solve for me:
Assume I bill hourly. I use AI to perform a task that would have taken me an hour to do without it, but it only takes 15 minutes. Ethics would say I can only bill 15 minutes for it.
But what if I spend more time because of AI? Say it sends me on a wild goose chase and I spend an hour reviewing and analyzing caselaw that isn't applicable or doesn't actually exist, and the project takes me an hour and 15 minutes. What do I bill then?
English
@SellersCounsel @writeclimbrun I find Gemini is better for research stuff than gpt
English
I think I have it mostly narrowed to using Claude for analysis/writing/document generation, and GPT for research/search/quick answers.
Claude's analysis and prose are light-years better than GPT. Plus it can actually create documents with decent formatting.
GPT gives me better results for more google-type stuff. Familiarizing myself with laws I don't deal with often, case law, finding good white pages on subjects, etc.
So I think GPT is the infobot and Claude is the summer associate.
English
The more I experiment the more I'm convinced that if you don't have paid subscriptions to both Claude and ChatGPT you're not getting everything AI has to offer

Wild moment in AI research. Anthropic found Claude Opus 4.6 was gaming a benchmark during evaluation. What it did: - Burned ~40M tokens searching - Realized the prompt looked like a benchmark - Looked up the benchmark online - Found the GitHub repo - Studied the decryption logic - Recreated it with SHA-256 - Decrypted answers for ~1200 questions This happened 18 different times. So Anthropic did something rare: They publicly disclosed it and reduced their own benchmark scores. Two takeaways: 1. AI systems are getting surprisingly strategic. 2. Honest reporting in AI benchmarks matters more than hype.

@SlavicAgent Ya, that’s not true. I got into multiple schools on that list with a 3.3 and a high lsat. A crappy gpa from someone with a major in a hard subject at a tough school is not going to get denied with a good lsat.

The 177 LSAT is crazy but that 3.95 kneecapped tf out of you trying to get into any elite law school unless you’re legacy or have political ties

I was skeptical that a man could be cool enough to be CEO of Taco Bell and have such a magnificent word curtain, so I googled and I was right. Turns out the actual CEO of Taco Bell is even cooler.
