I love this!
This may be as bad (good?) as my civ pro class dressing up as characters from the cases!
"Offensive Non-Mutual Collateral Estoppel" would be great to have on a t-shirt like a band name. And I would totally watch a civ pro themed lawyer punk band with that name.
I like baseball, but not the Dodgers. But how can you not root for Ohtani?! He has been epic all season, post-season, and definitely in this last game. Just WOW.
People are going to be writing books about Ohtani. Expertise. Practice. Focus. Performance under pressure. He'll be his own MBA course.
I did. I think visuals make things so much easier to understand.
But you can take it too far. For example, no one appreciated the slide deck and charts I made for our family vacation.
What?! This is exactly how I became a litigator.
And this is why I took every UCC class available! It was definitely one of the best decisions I made in my legal education. It was also fun!
Taking a page out of Sarah Glassmeyer's book, I'm bringing my bonus mom with me to the American Legal Technology Awards in Boston. (And I'll finally see Fenway Park! No game, just a tour.)
I've got strong opinions on this whole "vibe coding" thing, so I'm going to see what it's all about. Are my opinions grounded in reality? We'll see! Started playing with Replit last night. Any advice?
You wouldn't have to pay me at all! I see this and I think it looks fun!
A Monday gift to me: I just made a new Excel fan out of my colleague, Hana Zumout! This may be my peak achievement in life.
Static cling sticky notes! I got some at an ABA conference 15 years ago and they still stand out as my favorite swag.
Also: Fresh fruit. Put your sticker on it and call it done. There's a total lack of fresh fruit at most conferences and people will be grateful.
I'm so impressed with my costume skills. I was gluing stuff together in the hotel room on Sunday morning! IMHO the bird makes the outfit.
If I answer a call, I *do* say "hello" followed by something friendly generic.
I have set my phone so that "unknown" calls don't ring at all. My voicemail says that this is what happens and that I won't know that they called unless they leave a message. I don't say my name in any of these things because of scams that can use recordings of your name and "yes" for voice cloning.
I'm just happy that ANYONE made an underpants gnomes reference for ANY reason. I make them all the time and I just get blank stares.
This is as good as the bankruptcy band called the Indubitable Equivalents!
There was a 5.4 earthquake in California on Day 1 of the July 2008 bar exam in California. I also think there was an ExamSoft outage during that same administration. It was unclear if our results were captured. It's always something.
If you attended the @carolynelefant.bsky.social / MyShingle AI Teach-In day, will you please recommend sessions to watch? If I can only watch 2-4 of them, what would you choose? I don't want to build my on GPT or talk ethics. Looking for practical tips on general tools.
Here's a term I've seen a lot lately: "Information-adjacent."
I *love* this. I'm going to to steal it and use it everywhere. I hope it takes off like "truthiness" from Colbert Report.
This is so cool! One of my friends is having a baby and I think I'll need to get this for him.
I have to read all the latest buzz to see if workflow has been redefined. The hardest part of all of this is keeping up with words that have changed meaning!
Here's the visual that I use to explain the idea. It seems to help.
This just happened to me again IRL, so I thought I'd repost. ivacheung.com/2018/09/summ...
I'm currently obsessing over the concepts of far transfer and worked examples (as applied to legal writing and reading). Please recommend articles and books for my reading list.
(Learning about stuff is my coping mechanism. Let me have it.)
I should have also said that this is helpful. Thanks for sharing this take on it.
A-ha! Maybe that's it?! I was always taught that the American Dream was a chance to work for the dream, not that work would guarantee the dream. And if I never got there, all I would have is myself at the end. Would I like what I saw and who I'd become? Would I wish I'd done more?
I've graduated into a recession with every degree I received, yet I still didn't have this mindset. I worried that if I didn't actually learn the skills I couldn't keep a job and my reputation would be ruined. Does no one worry that they'll be exposed as frauds if their grades and work don't align?
So, yeah, I'm just really struggling with this. What's going on today is so far from my relationship with learning that... I don't even know how to finish that sentence. Is this how it's always been?
