Favorite AI-generated podcast transcript error so far, especially since it has never fumbled on this word before: Atternees Too late to add that as an anecdote in the recording, but it's definitely going in the accompanying blog post, since it's all about AI and the practice of law 😁 #lawsky

I'm excited about next week's podcast episode. I've already had some colleagues ask me to help train them on proper AI use for lawyers. Maybe I have a side hustle in the making. I love this stuff. Eons ago I trained people on litigation support software and how to use Westlaw in its digital infancy

I'm finishing up a 20-minute video and blog post about attorney use of AI and how way too many posts about the recent Heppner decision are misinterpreting the ruling. I felt a need to add in the beginning why I'm qualified to speak on the subjects. I wonder if I were a man if I'd have felt that. 🤔

@budzinski.house.gov are you making a firm stand that Donald Trump should be removed from office via 25th Amendment or immediate impeachment and conviction? That's what most of your constituents want after he threats this morning. Please do ASAP if not already done. I'm from 61821 and you can DM me

Here's my full podcast episode on AI and IP. Available at Spellbinding IP on your favorite podcast platform. Or right here. youtu.be/bazNjQHM92o?... #lawsky #iplawsky #ailawsky

World in grave danger. I remain excited about my post topic this week: AI and IP. IP lawyer/tech nerd/programmer heaven. Dissociate for a while with me. Lesser horrors. Here's the teaser. youtube.com/shorts/84vxM... #lawsky #iplawsky

I'm proud to have my signature on the excellent amicus brief from solo and small firms by the marvelous Carolyn Elefant. I got to meet her and thank her for her work in person last week after "knowing" her online for a while.

I am ordering more of Riki Rachtman's delicious Cathouse Coffee. Do yourself a favor and try it. Yes, the host of Headbanger's Ball has turned me into a coffee snob. That's ok. He's super nice. Go see his spoken word show if you can, too. Inspirational and funny.

Reading lawyers who clearly haven't read the Heppner decision fight on reddit about what it said wasn't a good idea for improving my mood. However, I'm working on 2 posts/videos about AI, 1 about AI & IP for small businesses & 1 about AI & the legal profession for lawyers, so good fodder. #lawsky

I want a practice management platform that is designed for transactional lawyers, handles leads and matters without switching from one system to another, has siloed AI that's actually good, and handles my social media posting. Please design asap, thanks! #abatechshow #lawsky

CONFERENCE RESCUE PUPPIES! youtube.com/shorts/3ZknV... #abatechshow #lawsky

I'm at the American Bar Association Tech Show! youtube.com/shorts/rD_MX... #abatechshow

Haven't even had them 4 full months yet but I will be sad to be away from them for two nights.

This is clearly the kind of wise and eloquent jurisprudence every young lawyer aspires to.

Just SUPER thrilled the @americanbar.org released my email address to all the Tech Show vendors a good week before the conference so my inbox is flooded with unsolicited "stop by our booth" emails. Also, dear vendors, that is how to guarantee I will not be stopping by your booth.

Always a pleasure when a call with attorneys for other involved parties (I hate calling them opposing counsel when they really aren't) is surprisingly pleasant and nonadversarial. Civility and collegiality in our profession are underrated. #lawsky

My assistants enjoying some nice murderous play in my office.

Legal colleagues, tips on how Claude CoWork or Code can make my transactional practice more efficient? I already have it helping me manage my patent and trademark docket. I'm fairly adept at regular Claude and use a paid version.

New topic this week. Business succession, and of course how IP is involved. Here's the main video. Longer video on all podcast platforms at Spellbinding IP, and accompanying blog post on my website. youtu.be/JRj1I8-Md48?... #lawsky #iplawsky

Reworded second comment also not published. Wtf? Here it is: There's nothing in there any more critical of the current DOJ than in many other comments that have posted. Are comments not processed in the order received, maybe?

I find it interesting that my comment on the proposed rule that would allow the DOJ to circumvent state bar discipline procedures hasn't been published when many others submitted after mine have been. Submitted again, dammit. No profanity or threats or nuthin' in my comment. Just typos haha.

I just left my comment & proudly attached my name to it. U.S. lawyers please read this proposed rule & comment. Fed gov’t shouldn't control State bars www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/05/2026-04390/review-of-state-bar-complaints-and-allegations-against-department-of-justice-attorneys

Damn skippy on both points. This is a big deal and good news on a bad news day.

Man, I think about the lengths I go to to protect my clients' confidential and privileged information and there's POSOTUS & his gang of evil idiots playing war in a "war room" made of CURTAINS and taking photos of sensitive docs for their social media posts. Makes me wonder if anything of real 🧵1/2

Holy Emoluments Clause, Batman! Trump's trademark application filings regarding airports, were they to be granted, would put him in a position to demand licensing fees from the federal government for use of the marks if they cave and name any airports after him. That is wildly unconstitutional.

I'm back after a illness/burnout 2-week hiatus. Take care of yourself health, friends! Here's my new video about international patent filing, including some myth busting. Link to longer video and blog post in 1st comment. youtu.be/CVWq5am6e-s?...

I'll be attending the ABA Tech Show in Chicago if any colleagues here would like to meet up. #abatechshow

Why tf do people keep putting me on lists that say I'm anti-AI? I did my masters degree project on AI, ffs. Maybe it's because I understand its limitations? "Techno-pessimist," my ass. This is why it's dumb to block people based on any list you didn't create.

The most underrated patent step? Documentation. What it is, how it works, what problem it solves, who invented what, WHEN, what didn't work, every modification. Date everything. Dr. Frankenstein kept lab notes. Igor used the damaged brain? Document it. 🧠🧟⚗️ youtube.com/shorts/pcOhr...

We are all Spartacus, right? RIGHT? Damn right we are.

So we were almost spared his smug, sanctimonious, feckless, sex creep bullshittery? If that's not a strong argument for allowing women to choose to terminate . . .

True, they can't defund ICE, but they can insist on new regulations making it clear warrants are required and that violent agents are NOT immune, among other things that can rein in their behavior. In theory, at least. Intentional lawlessness is their M.O. and it's not like the DOJ will stop them.

🏰 LLC vs. Corporation? LLC = simpler, flexible, best for most businesses Corp = formalities, VC/IPO only Most businesses: LLC S-Corp election if profitable enough; C-Corp only for VC/IPO Watch: youtube.com/shorts/Oi9dn... #lawsky #smallbusinesssky

Please do not appease the 🟠💩🤡. Learn from history. Stop him and his administration.

Pay attention. The ICE/BP conduct is egregiously unconstitutional (n.b. fuck Kavanaugh). Even the police are appalled. If you're privileged enough not to worry you'll be stopped and forced at gunpoint to produce papers, don't be naive enough to think this will stop with persecuting people of color.

Facts. I think she's wonderful.

Very smart of Matthew McConaughey to register his "all right, all right, all right" catchphrase and likeness as trademarks to combat deepfakes. That gives him extra legal teeth to sink into the necks of the people and businesses creating the deepfakes. Gift link: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/matt...
