This latest article by my @georgetownlaw.bsky.social colleague @ajgriffin.bsky.social is another fantastic installment in her project of investigating unwritten rules regarding precedent and norms of judicial decision-making. Nice to see it recognized with Larry Solum's coveted "high recommend."

Calling Cormac McCarthy’s authorial style a “mistake” that AI no longer makes is so funny
On my phone? 😭
Just accidentally closed my 496 open tabs AMA
My Outlook email wants me to use “thank you” REALLY OFTEN—a lot more than even I, a person who expresses a lot of gratitude, would choose. Feels like my email is telling me, “You should smile more.”
Sara! I’m so glad you’re OK. big hugs to you.
I mean, it’s not taking my job anytime soon.
today Word spell-check let me know that “litigation” contains a spelling error—and it can offer me no suggested corrections. Feeling better about AI for sure.

I'm not so sure about this. Most legal research and legal writing profs I know are working to instill a healthy skepticism into the AI research process. My sense is most students are very cautious about relying on AI results and see how bad they often are.
Blessed are the nodders.
yikes.
I’ve been making this mistake ALL DAY
I’m 1/3 of the way through What We Can Know and looking forward to reading more this weekend!
Been driving for over 30 years and I’m on my third car. I try to go 11 or 12 years per car.
Folks, using alt-text is *not hard* to do. Plus it’s the right thing to do. Do it. (Yes, I’m updating all my class materials for digital accessibility and I just had the pleasure of writing alt-text for an image of Jack McCoy addressing the jury in an episode of “Law & Order”.)
Being able to admit one was wrong is a superpower.
It’s possible the clothes got cuter and one hasn’t changed at all!
“The classroom is not a space to just pass along information. It is a space where we think together and write together. Without shortcuts. We learn what it means to do the work ourselves.”
