I seriously have no idea why you’d hire Pat Fitzgerald. He wasn’t a playcaller or strategic mind, his whole schtick was selling Northwestern Culture because he played there, and then it turns out that culture featured a brutal atmosphere of sexual hazing

Happy 20th anniversary to our law review write-on project, which was this.
Screens are often used to shield child sex-abuse victims when they testify, but that can conflict with a defendant’s constitutional rights, the Supreme Court noted Monday.
Supreme Court tells state to reconsider screening child victim from defendant
The placement of a screen to shield a child-abuse victim in court might violate the constitutional right of a defendant to face their accuser, high court says.

I attended a demo of an AI patent drafting tool the other day. If anything, it showed me how incredibly AI-brained the AI people are.
I asked a question about some simple functionality: if I wanted to rename a drawing element, would the tool rename it throughout the spec and drawings?

Breaking news: In the past 10 months, the Trump administration has pushed for lethal strikes on Western Hemisphere drug traffickers and repeatedly steamrolled or sidestepped government lawyers who questioned whether the provocative policy was legal.

The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

Somewhat annoyed that I had to learn about adversarial poetry in an academic paper instead of a work of speculative fiction.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

The Guardian has learned that Rubenfeld is currently the subject of an internal investigation at Yale. The investigation is focused on Rubenfeld's conduct, particularly with female law students. Students have also raised related concerns to Yale authorities about Chua's powerful influence in the clerkships process. The investigation was initiated before Kavanaugh was nominated by Donald Trump to serve on the high court.
Rubenfeld said in a statement to the Guardian: "In June, Yale University informed me that it would conduct what it terms an 'informal review' of certain allegations, but that to preserve anonymity, I was not entitled to know any specifics. As a result, I do not know what I am alleged to have said or done. I was further advised that the allegations were not of the kind that would jeopardize my position as a long-tenured member of the faculty.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigwoy5lte7kkrixurdbkz2mf35gdmrsnj4di346ovp6hsv3yiwhla@jpeg)
