Kentucky Chief Justice just denied request by Bevins to DQ family court judge. Case heads back to family court, where he was sentenced to 30 days in jail for contempt but order was set aside so recusal could be decided.

Well, we have a Ky Court of Appeals decisions today with made-up cases in the briefs. Interestingly, it does NOT mention AI hallucination. Counsel claimed they were "placeholder" cites that inadvertently were left in. Hmm. #AppellateSky opinions.kycourts.net/COA/2024-CA-...

Proud to be representing the Courier Journal in this new lawsuit against the University of Louisville for violating the Open Meetings Act in firing/hiring its old/new President. The public has a right to know how the Board made its decision and why it believed it had cause to fire her.

Why does Westlaw require 2FA now? Should I be worried someone is going to log in an do my research for me? Have at it, bro!

If some drone operator or pilot thought that bombing an apartment building violated the Geneva Conventions and leaked this very same info to a journalist, the government would 100% prosecute that person for disclosing classified information. How stupid do they think the public is?

It's a scary time in the legal profession. Hard to know what to do, so I'll just offer this: if you're someone thinking of leaving government, or large firm, or a large market, I've made all of those transitions. I would be happy to share my experience & perspective FWIW. #apellatesky

The Senate Sub for HB 520 is a bad bill. This would attempt to let agencies determine whether something should be released. Police departments & other agencies will try to abuse this to create the kind of "blanket" exemption the KYSCT has long rejected. Call Senators and tell them to vote NO.

Fellow old people: someday (today), we’re going to ask ourselves how we found ourselves identifying with, and maybe even rooting for, Mike Tyson. The Internet does strange things to us all.
