Jamal Greene said it elsewhere, and I agree, thanking those that help is a thing of politeness not ethics. Even decisions re: authorship credit are generally up to the author. Lot of advisors get significant help from their grad students and never make them authors nor do journals care or ask
I don't see it as any different than when I sent things to professors or friends to make suggestions about what sentences were wordy or didn't make sense to them.
Yea, but I don't think even in academia it would be seen as problematic to run your academic article through BriefCatch or the like to have it make sentence tightening suggestions. In some respects, it's like having a second reader when you don't necessarily have that option.
I think it depends on whether you have to declare any AI or only truly "generative" AI. I think lots of good lawyers use/used BriefCatch (which may fall under some rules and not others). Also Harvey is VERY popular among large law firms now.
Yeah, I think Sam's point is excessive. Thousands of lawyers use BriefCatch to help with their briefs. It would presumably require this disclosure. Are their briefs not worth reading because they used AI to more efficiently address sentence style?
That is, according to the admissions folks when I was there, when applications skyrocketed. It helped fundraising, which helped it get into the top 100 universities (about 75 when I left. No idea now)
TCU it was after its Rose Bowl appearance in the early 2000s (sometime shortly before 2014)
It’s Erwin Chemerinsky all over again.
You went to school with the guy who invented this rule (or something), didn't you, Greg...
Thanks, Megan. Get it while it's hot, folks. SCOTUS personal jurisdiction jurisprudence is a mess. And Justice Busby writes a thorough entreaty to the Court to fix it.
I'll also have a new post coming soon about certified questions and subject matter jurisdiction!
Noooo
True. Always found it funny the insistence on "the" for freeways, but as a "coastal highway" "The" was a giveaway.
Also PCH and not "The PCH"
It was even a movie with Johnny Depp!
This is hilarious. She wants to be released 7 years early for doing because prison sucks and she's doing good things.
Could've been in a stack in the prior person's office since then in that "I'm sure I'll need that at some point, so I'll keep extending the loan until I retire" pile? 🤣 (I think @jdmortenson.bsky.social has one of those piles.)
Interesting. With Feldman running his own substack now, wonder who they’re using.
I really miss clerking on CA9 right now. The email traffic on the chambers emails must be LIT right now.

This is how you can more easily make Top 10 lists, folks. Life hack: big promise with a nearly blank paper!
This is good news, because I heard Mufasa was not great. And my daughter also loves the Lion King movies. So I'm sure I'll be seeing both these new ones.
The first two have strong Wes Anderson vibes, especially Paddington 2. Hoping the third is as good as Rotten Tomatoes says.
Legal academia should embrace a little more "basic science" for professors of all levels. It would produce less fluff.
Amar, much like Dean Chemerinsky, has this soft spoken tone that will just eviscerate you while not sounding particularly aggressive or confrontational. 🫣
A single case and they’ve said it’s “stronger” than assumed? 🤨
