@OrinKerr This is the way.

An attorney writes to me about the mostly AI-written law review article he had accepted this spring, now forthcoming in the flagship law review of a Top 50 law school. A draft of the article is now up on SSRN. According to the attorney: " Last month I used Claude to assist in drafting a new article . . . . I drafted this article in about 15 hours. In 2022 I published an article of similar length that took around 150 hours." The attorney adds: "I used Claude the way I’d use a junior associate—as a first drafter, sounding board, and research assistant. Most of the article, including the entirety of the title, abstract, and intro, is mine from the keyboard up. And anything Claude contributed that made it to the final version is there because I reviewed it, agreed with it, and chose to sign my name to it. This is no different than how I’d review an associate’s draft and then take responsibility for the finished product." The attorney adds: "That first draft was by no means file ready, but it was better than what I would’ve received from the vast majority of BigLaw associates. I was blown away, and have since started my own appellate and litigation practice in an effort to replicate these productivity gains for client work." Your thoughts? I know the attorney's name, and the journal, and I have checked out the article, but I figured that, at least for now, I would hold that back.

@lawsuitreform According to data from TLR or from the insurance industry? Neither are to be trusted.

Florida’s recent tort reforms led to a 25% drop in lawsuits and measurable premium reductions. That didn’t happen by chance. It happened because policymakers pushed back on excessive litigation and rebalanced a system that had favored trial lawyer profits over affordability. Reform works. The data shows it.

@TPPF @cvasut Budgets double every 7-10 years. Pet projects and grift become the name of the game. Like a slot machine that always pays out.

" I think certainly some type of spending limit at the local level is a prudent and good thing to do." - Rep @cvasut on our Taxpayer Empowerment Podcast

Anyone that has never been prosecuted for thinking differently doesn’t understand. Anyone that can’t appreciate this fact is free to never speak to me.

Sorry that your oil is super expensive right now but the Islamic regime just executed three young men for the crime of protesting. One of them was Saleh Mohammadi, a 19-year-old wrestling champion. So ya…priorities…

@TomOliverson @TexasGOP Judges and Local Govt Officials need to have consequences for their actions. Ultra Vires needs to be codified with procedures. Scope of Work needs to be codified. I have a whole outline of things to address. The abuse has to end.

Judges liability should be a Legislative Priority for @TexasGOP! Let’s get it passed.

@TexasEd911 It is a feeder organization. Staffers leave etc and go to work in the grift. Then feeds back. Incestuous in its very nature.

@TexLocGovAtty Yes! And if the influence is one day not tucked into lobby funding, it will be tucked into association fees, training costs, co-ops, risk mitigation, consulting, etc. It’s a big problem. Going to need govt level transparency on many of those orgs.

Why are superintendent contracts so lopsided? Does YOUR employer pay for your criminal legal defense?

@lawsuitreform This is the first valid thing yall have posted. If you focused on healthcare reform people would take you seriously. You would be providing a benefit instead of removing access to the courts.

Inflated medical billing has become a key driver of excessive verdicts and rising settlements. Transparency reforms help juries see real costs, not artificially marked-up numbers designed to increase payouts. When damages are inflated, insurance premiums rise, and families feel it. Fair rules and clear standards protect consumers, stabilize markets, and keep Texas competitive.

@LegeLawyer Man, the naturalization ceremony is one of the coolest events I have ever attended. I think it should be required for all US Citizens to attend so they can see how hard people want to be citizens and how proud they are to become an American!

Me immediately after my US citizenship interview at the USCIS office in Harlingen, Texas. Back in 2021, the Age of COVID. The whole process was quite anticlimactic - I never got a proper citizenship ceremony. But I dare to think my work attests to my patriotism.

@gringosuavex @GrahamKekule @Stambo2A @MorosKostas I am well aware of the costs. I have multiple personal suits going on RIGHT NOW. I have one at SCOTX and I am aware of the costs daily.

@GrahamKekule @TexLocGovAtty @Stambo2A @MorosKostas It’s easy for Aaron to advocate others appeal to SCOTUS, it’s not his money burning up for nothing.

In Teter, the Ninth voted to take a Second Amendment case en banc after Plaintiffs won. That vacated the panel ruling. But before the en banc panel could hear the case, Hawaii repealed the law at issue. The Ninth Circuit refused to restore the panel ruling, and Plaintiffs were denied attorney's fees because they were not technically prevailing parties. So cool!

@GrahamKekule @gringosuavex @Stambo2A @MorosKostas Fair point. But that is why the second bite of the Apple. The first one they thought was a one off. The second shows repetitive behavior.

@TexLocGovAtty @gringosuavex @Stambo2A @MorosKostas SCOTUS allowed NYSRPA I to go down as moot despite the exact same situation. They literally do not give a shit.

@GrahamKekule @gringosuavex @Stambo2A @MorosKostas Not much much in the scheme of things; however, this issue is capable of repetition without meaningful review. This is gamesmanship 101 by corrupt govt. SCOTUS is primed for this case.

@TexLocGovAtty @gringosuavex @Stambo2A @MorosKostas Filing costs money

@LoewyLawFirm Weaponized incompetence by morally and ethically corrupt people.

I honestly think it’s just bureaucratic rot. They just know one way to do this. City Legal is conditioned to fight everything. City Management defers to City Legal for a while. They go thru the steps and then some on Council are like, why aren’t we settling this ? It doesn’t bother me as much when it’s kept in house bc we are paying City Legal regardless But paying up to $600,000 to Dan Richards firm AGAIN - literally now decades of this - is so insanely ridiculous They will milk the file as long as they can as any billable lawyer would. It’s especially infuriating bc the City is clearly in the wrong here. Settle and move on.

A “healthy economy” is when a typical 90 IQ man can hold down a job earning enough to fund a modest lifestyle with his wife & kids. This only works when 130 IQ men are free to build great things as they see fit, with minimal friction from 110 IQ administrators.

@TonyBuzbee2 Fantastic news. People suffering the consequences of their actions. What a change of pace from 2017-2024 where we lived in a circus.

AFROMAN WINS!!! Bam!!!

@gringosuavex @Stambo2A @MorosKostas It would costs time as he is a lawyer. Without presenting it to SCOTUS they can’t fix it or see a problem in the jurisprudence. The 9th is a dumpster fire.

@TexLocGovAtty @Stambo2A @MorosKostas That would be far more expensive and likely be denied anyway since the case was mooted by an en banc panel

@Stambo2A @MorosKostas @gringosuavex 100% I would file a SCOTUS petition.

@MorosKostas @gringosuavex That cost Alan and I about $437,000. Ask me why, when my cases are done in the ninth circuit, I will never take another case there until it’s split up.

@realmitchlittle That if this case had been filed in state court it would be a disaster!

@TexLocGovAtty ??? This has to do with derivative actions against publicly traded corporations

This should be an improvement.

No, it is twitter. Hard to explain. The Fed Judge got it right. We can’t depend on State District Court Judges to do it. We have to find a way for District Court Judges to have accountability. I am waiting on an order to be signed from a trial that happened in Oct. I can’t get it.

@TexLocGovAtty You totally lost me. I think you’re talking about a different bill.
