It has somehow been a minute since I’ve written any updates on anything in the world of Generative AI issues. That hasn’t, of course, been because things haven’t been happening. They have. And even today I found myself as part of yet another panel presentation on the ethics issues surrounding the rise of the use […]

New York States of Mind
Let’s end 2023 on a high note, shall we? Governor Hochul must be high. She just vetoed a bill that would have finally ended New York’s requirement that New York lawyers have to have an office in New York. Yes, you heard that right. Despite all of the talk in the legal profession of the […]
First of all, I know I am long overdue for new content here. There have been quite a few things that caught my eye that I wanted to write about, but there were so many to choose from it got into a weird, overwhelming, and highly unusual sort of “writer’s block” situation. Second, some anniversaries […]
All, Just a PSA. Do not get COVID. It is no good. Very bad. You don’t want it. I managed to go all the way to August 2023 without ever getting it, but I came back from Denver with it earlier this week. It sucks. If you are traveling, I’d suggest you mask up. I […]
A quick and also rare weekend post because I’ve been tied up a bit and am about to be tied up again and unable to post for a week or so. I’ve sallied forth at length here about what I see to be pretty disingenuous attacks based on First Amendment arguments against adopting ABA Model […]

Dot. Dot.Dash (3 updates)
Three updates for you on things that all managed to catch my eye at the same time and all fall into the “I’ve written about this before” category. First, there has now been a ruling in that MSG case where the lawyers for MSG were badly misusing RPC 4.2 to justify barring certain attorneys from […]
Some interesting news today in the intersection of legal ethics and sports. (And technically this makes two straight posts dabbling in that space.) You might recall seemingly forever ago that I posted about a very short lived partnership between the ABA and a company called Rocket Lawyer. If you don’t remember anything about that, you […]
Having just scratched long unscratched itches of topics over which dust has gathered last week, let’s resume talking about more recent topics. Specifically, a topic that is going to need to continue to be bellowed about until we can get it fixed: the flaws in RPC 5.5. Thankfully, we have two further recent situations — […]

2020 too?
This past year has certainly been … something. Other than the ongoing pandemic, this year feels like it will historically be defined (at least within the United States) by the various assaults on democracy starting with the January 6 insurrection, continuing with the efforts of one political party to choose its voters rather than vice […]
