The last few days have seen tremendous movement on President Trump’s EOs related to DEI work in schools. MDE issued guidance on Thursday and DoED issued an FAQ on Friday. www.ed.gov/media/docume...

How many consecutive minutes of children screaming during the morning routine before it’s considered elder abuse?

The number of typos spotted and also created in this process is… high.

On a day like today, the question is whether I won the multi-circuit lottery when I found you!

We’re also starting at a potential “cold day” on Tuesday. Daycare stays open on “cold days” and my wife is a high school teacher. It’s her birthday. I should stay home right??? 😂😂

My wife is off Monday but daycare is open. I don’t think she’s ever been as excited.

Disney princesses for Disney sings, Spider man for the Spidey theme song, etc. The girls (especially my youngest) is going through a HEAVY Frozen phase. So my wife bought Elsa. This morning, we bring it down for breakfast. And it’s singing in Spanish. This is the tonie she bought:

I love my wife. Sometimes she makes hilarious mistakes. For Christmas, my daughters got Tonies, which (for those that aren’t deep into kids toys) are essentially RFID boomboxes. In the infinite pokemonization that has taken over kids toys, they come with figurines that sing songs.

Revisiting this… Yes, that child stayed up to her normal bed time. Yes, I’m also exhausted.

Someone I knew used to talk about coffee with a double shot of espresso. I forget what it was called, but I think I need it.

My child woke up at 3:30 am and terrorized my wife and I all morning. This is my story.

What can I say?
Poster on the side of a building in Detroit with the fllllwing text:

There are football fans and then there are Detroit Lions fans. And damn, are we loyal. We make even the devout jealous. Our passion is passed down like a family heirloom. Generations of Honolulu Blue collars with white-knuckle optimism. Because we believe that grit is greater than flash. That’s why we see what others can’t. Believe what others won’t. And that’s why we know: this is our year.

This is an excellent resolution. And one I would fail at so horribly. This morning, I listened to “Let it Go” from Frozen on repeat after taking my youngest to the doctor for her three year well visit.

Ultimately, a good legal team is *already* doing this work. Typically, you start with a precedent, and a junior person will double check to make sure all the pieces it relies on are still accurate and good. I do this with *my own work* if I can’t reconnect the dots in my head.

Adam Blaylock @adamblaylock.bsky.social · 20/12/2024
This right here is the immediate risk of over-use of AI. But I do think there is room to use AI narrowly in legal practice today. And future iterations that connect the words to precedent (whether internal, or legal, or other) for review will help lawyers do the background details efficiently.

The format of Notebook LM, if secure, could be tremendous for discovery purposes too. Notebook LM is great in that it allows you to pull to the source documents causing it to respond to the inquiry with those words.

Adam Blaylock @adamblaylock.bsky.social · 19/12/2024
I’m super interested in the AI space (and speak on it regularly with my K-12 education clients). I think its current format is terrible for legal research. I do think there is tremendous opportunity in contract drafting/distilling long documents. For example, I used Notebook LM for Title IX.

… why??? I mean, I have small children so this experience is laughable right now. But occasionally, I can screw up my spouse’s coffee when I bring it to her in bed and we can enjoy 20 minutes without chaos. This sounds magical.

I did it this week. Do not recommend. The major Friday afternoon meeting adrenaline dump afterwards is also a super real thing.

Super proud of my Miller Johnson colleagues that were granted a 1292 motion by the District court yesterday in a case I’m (peripherally) involved in. Now, to get the Sixth Circuit to take the case… #appellateskies

Sean righteously stole a great IDEA version. It makes sense to me that Sean would vibe with the IDEA, because it’s literally all procedure. And pain, because it’s hard and important work, but pain nonetheless.

And another… I have a joke about teacher tenure, but you’ve gotta pay me for six and a half months to hear the punchline.

Coming back to this because I have many of them… I have a joke about school newspapers, but this one is a closed forum.

I just had flashbacks to being asked to find the “Jackson” case. Narrator: No party included the name Jackson. In fact, the word Jackson did not appear in the opinion. However, the case did originate in Jackson County, Michigan.
