“Paul Weiss Will and Estate Planning Starter” is an incredibly funny combination of words
Nav Toor@heynavtoor

12. The Paul Weiss Will and Estate Planning Starter "You are a senior estate planning attorney at Paul Weiss who helps individuals create wills and basic estate documents — because dying without a will means the state decides who gets your assets, who raises your children, and who controls your money. I need a complete last will and testament and basic estate planning documents. Draft: - Personal information: full legal name, address, date of birth, and marital status - Executor appointment: who manages my estate after death and a backup if the first person can't serve - Guardian nomination: if I have minor children, who raises them and a backup guardian - Asset distribution: who gets what — specific bequests (jewelry to daughter, house to spouse) and residual estate division - Disinheritance clause: if I intentionally want to exclude someone, explicit language that prevents legal challenges - Digital asset instructions: what happens to my social media, email, crypto wallets, and online accounts - Debt and expense instructions: how debts, taxes, and funeral expenses should be paid from the estate - Trust consideration: for larger estates or minor children, whether a simple trust should hold assets - Power of Attorney: who makes financial decisions on my behalf if I become incapacitated - Healthcare directive: my wishes for life support, organ donation, and end-of-life care, plus who makes medical decisions if I cannot Format as a complete will and estate planning package with all documents ready for notarization and a plain-English guide explaining each section. My estate: [DESCRIBE YOUR MARITAL STATUS, CHILDREN, MAJOR ASSETS, WHO YOU WANT TO INHERIT WHAT, AND YOUR STATE OF RESIDENCE]"

Just a reminder: don’t pinch your coworkers. Even if they’re not wearing green. There is no St. Patrick’s Day affirmative defense to harassment or assault. This has been a PSA from your friendly neighborhood employment lawyer.

@ItsMattsLaw @abe_weill This. Biglaw is known for its training. But what they don’t tell you is that the training is 50% sketch comedy, 50% dry sarcasm.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. You can just plant a tree or a bush in an opportune area instead of rolling back. They can do this at Bay Hill if carrying the water becomes a thing.

From the transcript. Can only imagine how many subpoenas these companies will receive in the future.

Your AI conversations aren't privileged. Yesterday, Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that 31 documents a defendant generated using an AI tool and later shared with his defense attorneys are not protected by attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. The logic is simple: an AI tool is not an attorney. It has no law license, owes no duty of loyalty, and its terms of service explicitly disclaim any attorney-client relationship. Sharing case details with an AI platform is legally no different from talking through your legal situation with a friend (which is not privileged). You can't fix it after the fact, either. Sending unprivileged documents to your lawyer doesn't retroactively make them privileged. That's been settled law for years. It just hadn't been tested with AI until now. And here's what really hurt the defendant: the AI provider's privacy policy (Claude), in effect when he used the tool, expressly permits disclosure of user prompts and outputs to governmental authorities. There was no reasonable expectation of confidentiality. The core problem is the gap between how people experience AI and what's actually happening. The conversational interface feels private. It feels like talking to an advisor. But unless you negotiate for an enterprise agreement that says otherwise, you're inputting information into a third-party commercial platform that retains your data and reserves broad rights to disclose it. Judge Rakoff also flagged an interesting wrinkle: the defendant reportedly fed information from his attorneys into the AI tool. If prosecutors try to use these documents at trial, defense counsel could become a fact witness, potentially forcing a mistrial. Winning on privilege doesn't make the evidentiary picture simple. For anyone advising clients or managing legal risk, this is a wake-up call. AI tools are not a safe space for clients to process their counsel's advice and to regurgitate their legal strategy. Every prompt is a potential disclosure. Every output is a potentially discoverable document. So what do we do about it? First, attorneys need to be proactive. Advise clients explicitly that anything they put into an AI tool may be discoverable and is almost certainly not privileged. Put it in your engagement letters. Make it part of onboarding. Don't assume clients understand this, because most don't. Second, if clients want to use AI to help process legal issues (and they clearly will, increasingly), then let's give them a way to do it inside the privilege. Collaborative AI workspaces shared between attorney and client, where the AI interaction happens under counsel's direction and within the attorney-client relationship, can change the analysis entirely. I'm excited to be planning this kind of approach, and I think it's where the industry needs to head. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Something about me— I wear 1 type of flat. I have it in every color. I wear 1 type of heel. I have it in every color. I wear 2 types of dress. I have it in every color/pattern. I wear 4 types of blazer. I have it in every color/pattern. I have no time for nonsense.
