FIN/ Nothing like sending threats directly to the USPTO office. What a complete whackjob. Complaint: iardc.org/File/View/4905…

4/ Yes, your failure to get a job will be the spark that ignites the revolution.

1/ Oh man, every now and then a disciplinary matter comes across my way that is insane. This is one of them. Complaint just filed to the Illinois Supreme Court after a lawyer was not hired as a patent examiner...he didn't take it well. #lawtwitter #legalethics

FYI - OpenAI is now keeping all conversations saved, even if you requested that they not be logged or manually deleted them, per yesterday's order. #lawtwitter #AI

On AI's ability to generate copyrightable work, an appellate judge cites Data from @StarTrek TNG. #appellatetwitter "There will be time enough for Congress and the Copyright Office to tackle those issues when they arise." Opinion: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/docs/…

Fin/ Also, a "UMichigan football player and marine." Het got hired at $250k a year as a DISBARRED lawyer. Then went on to scam inmates & their families. Discipline: Already disbarred, 3 years in prison. DOJ: justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/d…

2/ Observation: law firms may need to develop more discerning hiring practices. This guy just kept getting jobs!

brief #legealethics note: 1/ Guy was already disbarred, and just said "f*ck it!" Starts creating fake identities to apply for (and get!) multiple six-figure jobs from law firms. #lawtwitter

I guess you could say the dog was...Fur-midable. 😅 theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

@StephStradley It does seem like someone should have told them this crossed the line from "zealous advocacy," to a complete lack of common sense.

@associatesmind Sometimes I see things like this and wonder if a lawyer has no good mentors or friends in their lives.

1/ A brief #legalethics tale: When your State Supreme Court says your argument at the District Court was "essentially a tantrum," you're going to have a bad time. #LawTwitter

Fin/ They cited the "pound the table" quote! No discipline (yet), but attorney fees awarded to Respodents, personally from the lawyer for filinf frivolous lawsuits. Opinion: isc.idaho.gov/opinions/50748…

3/ Being four months late with disclosures, with no motions for relief. Also not good. But sure, blame the judge for sticking to the schedule?

@wolmanj Isn't that in their job description?

@associatesmind Any discipline against the assistant state attorneys for being asses?

Quick judicial #legalethics note: Probably shouldn't tell an ASA that you are going to "start being a bitch" in your rulings because they are an "ass." Discipline: Public reprimand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Order: acis-api.flcourts.gov/courts/68f021c…

3/ And the commission lets the judge slide for responding to the charges with "Get up 10." Discipline: Take a course on social media, "public censure." Order: judicial.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/…

2/ Also, don't post pictures of yourself & two PDs in a hot tub with the caption "surrounded by great tits."

1/ A judicial #legalethics FYI - If you're a judge, even you really want @billieeilish to start, you shouldn't threaten to vacate pending cases on social media.
