So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Well this was sad news to wake up to. Jerry Greenfield - one half of the iconic Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream brand - is resigning from the company he built with Ben Cohen, as a result of being silenced by Magnum Global. Here is his statement on why he’s leaving the company.

Fictional future or Factual? We don't even have the Eglinton Crosstown working.

In-house counsel can now better select outside counsel based on data and access to peer ratings of outside counsel on several metrics thanks to Leopard Solutions platform. Should result in better fit and better results. www.techlawcrossroads.com/2025/07/the-...

This is an amazing legal tech M&A. Is there now three mega legal tech comanpies: Thomson Reuters with CoCounsel, Harvey w/ LexisNexis, and Clio w/ Vlex? #legalai #legaltech

We’re hiring at Princeton on AI and society, working with Arvind Narayanan or me depending on fit. I think current AI developments are all a huge deal but am very unexcited by current state of the AGI and/or AI safety discourse. Please share as you see fit. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...

NEW STUDY ALERT: MIT researchers claim ChatGPT causes "cognitive debt" in students. But their methodology has some serious red flags 🚩 Let me break down why we should be skeptical of these dramatic conclusions. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

Yesterday I got to speak at my fav legal innovation conference @legalgeek.bsky.social. Some observations from yesterday: The dialogue has moved from “Should we adopt AI?” to “Here’s what we’re building.” Agentic workflows took centre stage. Notable increase in investment in legal tech. #legaltech

Seems shockingly low!

"I recently offered my resignation as executive director of the Skadden Foundation, rather than endorse actions that I believe will undermine its mission."

Interesting to see the stats. Couple of thoughts: 1. I suspect this will continue to happen and maybe even increas as adoption increase. 2. 3 from Canada in the chart - not sure if anyone knows of any other cases in Canada. #legalai

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Listening to the audiobook of "Why Nations Fail" and I wonder how @dacemoglumit.bsky.social and James Robinson view or revise what they wrote based on what is happening today re political corruption, dismantling of the rule of law, targeting of educational institutions, ....

Canadian MPs elected a new Speaker of the House this morning. So why is he being dragged “against his will” to the chair? #cdnpoli

It’s #LawSummerSanta2025 where lawyers exchange yummy snacks in the spirit of giving! This year I had a wonderful surprise - an immersive "Cacao is Food" tasting experience! Thank you to my Santa Ashley for this thoughtful, delicious gift. And thank you to Sean Bawden for organizing once again.

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

Wonder if the PM will be able to teach him some basics about how trade deficits and tarriffs work!

How should legal education respond to AI? Together with 11 UCL Laws colleagues, this paper is our vision for the sector. It's rooted in academic integrity, fundamental competences, and concerns around impacts on learning to learn and intellectual risk taking. (🧵) discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

I just met with legal counsel for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri. Dr. Suri is a global conflict scholar at Georgetown who was detained without explanation by masked agents outside his Arlington home, then disappeared without due process to a prison 1,300 miles from his wife and children. 1/

Yes I know the whole statement is crazy but Trudeau? He is no longer the PM.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Someone took my political party lawn sign and replaced it with the other political party's sign, of someone not even in our riding. 😂 Just one way this feels like a different election. #cdnpoli

I really liked Pope Francis and am so sad to hear of his passing. RIP.

I'm speaking at Legal Geek in Chicago. Super, super excited. If interested in #legaltech or #legalai this is a good conference to attend. TED-style talks in a very cool venue in Chicago. www.legalgeek.co/north-america/ #LegalGeekNA

I was interviewed for this article by Gail Cohen about concerns crossing the US border. She has some good tips for other lawyers who may have concerns crossing the border into the US. #legaltech www.law.com/americanlawy...

Wishing everyone in the Jewish community a joyous Passover. May you be surrounded by the love of friends and family. Chag Pesach Sameach!

If you look at the comments in this post they are disheartening. The law firms ceding to Trump's initiatives instead are impacting not only their reputation but that of the the whole legal professional.

Hey, @forgottenman222.bsky.social , Thought you'd like to know our Prime Minister is a cat person:

Just wrapped up an incredible #LegalWeek! Key takeaways: 1. everything was about AI. 2. There is a boom in legal tech.Three floors of exhibitors. 3. Where will the legal industry be in three years! Here are a few snapshots. #legaltech

I think this is the best one I’ve seen so far.

fyi - if not for BlueSky I would not have known about this.

Live now, tons of people at the concert
