The New York Times filed suit against OpenAI and Microsoft this morning alleging use of millions of articles from The Times to train advanced chatbots, such as ChatGPT, which the Times argues competes unfairly with its own content. The parties had been in negotiations on an agreement for some time, with The Times threatening to sue, months ago.

Now, the Free Law Project , a nonprofit devoted to making legal information publicly and freely available, has received a grant to design and prototype an open access and open source court e-filing system, aiming to disrupt the existing system by which e-filing and court management systems make money by selling access to court

by guest blogger Christine Haight Farley Because it is grading season, when I read the Second Circuit’s per curiam decision in Vans, Inc. v. MSCHF Prod. Studio, Inc. , 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 32063 (2d Cir. 2023), I already had my red grading pen out. The low grade the court earned is a consequence of it losing many points by misstating the law, misapplying the law, and especially skipping over the part where it was supposed to share its analysis and instead just stated its conclusion.

Northwestern Law Professor, Dan Linna makes clear why law students need to be using AI in law school, something freely available to them. Freely available from LexisNexis, only their law schools allow the use of AI. Interesting that @LexisNexis + AI will be available to all 2L, 3L, and LLM students before the spring semester, but to 1Ls only if law schools exercise the option to make it available (in Jan, Feb, Mar, or April, per the Lexis announcement).

Patent due diligence processes take too long. The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
