Corrupting and misappropriating. In this economy?

Perhaps the whole voting suppression effort is just a diversion from the true plan, which is use billions in dark money and aggressive AI to ensure the plutocrats that the Outlaw in the Oval (ht Maureen Dowd) can continue unrestrained.

"We find interstices everywhere — in our bodies, societies, and work environments. The focus here is on how they work (and don’t) in the complex dance of humans and machines engaged in law practice." marclauritsen01.medium.com/interstitial...

Many of us instinctively regard the past as less complex — and its leading thinkers/doers as less sophisticated — than now. Each time I read a Shakespeare poem, play a Mozart sonata, or watch a Hitchcock movie I'm reminded how untrue that is.

I may have already noted this, but U Mass emeritus professor Edwina Rissland, who wrote a seminal AI/law article in the Yale Law Journal and taught a related course at Harvard Law for a decade, gave a talk once about 'gray cygnets' (as opposed to black swans, when it came to unusual court rulings.)

Encouraging, even given that "We law people—those of us who spend our careers within the legal industry and its systems—could have spent the last half century or more trying to answer these broader questions of law’s linkage to, obligation to, justice as a central norm."

We've had decades of technological breakthroughs that might have softened the ATJ crisis. Something tells me that the solution lies elsewhere. But there's always hope!

Technology that helps people do their own legal work should be against the law. That at least is the view of some bar authorities, and the implication of regulatory proposals. Many lawyers think that....

"[H]ere is the fundamental truth that too few in the law are willing to utter: The law sucks. It is a terrible system of justice. It is slow, costly, and inefficient. Its burdens are felt by the weakest in our society, its benefits enjoyed by only the most wealthy."
