If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. It's okay to hire someone else who does know what they are doing, but don't waste your own time, your client's money, and potentially your career trying to do things you know nothing about. There are experts for that. Rule 1.1 in the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The original Rule 1.1 states: “ A lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client.

Today was the 2023 Super Bowl of Internet Law at the U.S. Supreme Court [FN]. SCOTUS issued two eagerly awaited decisions in the Twitter v. Taamneh and Gonzalez v. Google cases (as well as decisions in the Warhol copyright fair use case and the Amgen patent enablement case). Twitter won its decision unanimously, and the Supreme Court per curiam punted the Google case back to the 9th Circuit with the clear message that the plaintiffs should lose.

As I read more and more about AI in journalism and publishing – and use ChatGPT in my work and blogging, it’s become inevitable to me that AI will become part of our blogging lives. I’ve always thought that the art of writing and journalism is to some extent like being a painter or musician. Some evenings publishing a blog or posting to Facebook I feel like I’m on a roll, like a pianist knocking out a tune.

The implications of news by conversation are a tad scary for lawyers and law firms publishing legal insight and commentary to build a name.
