This country has given my family and me extraordinary opportunities. Practicing law is a privilege. Being able to communicate with you is an honor.

I owe it to the country, the rule of law and all of you to do my part in the fight for democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

I have been binge listening to the podcast The Last Invention and now feel kinship with Adama from Battlestar Galactica as well as Chuck McGill. The podcast reviews the past and future of AI and it is eye opening. Highly recommend it. Then unplug.

Here's Judge Ellis' full order after yesterday's hearing, which includes one change: Bovino has to appear today (and every weekday) in court at 5:45 p.m. "to account for the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse"
The Court orders Defendants to have all Federal Agents operating in Operation Midway Blitz to place an identifier conspicuously on their uniform where one can easily view it and the Agent's equipment does not obscure it. Custom and Border Protection will strive to ensure that all CBP agents working in Operation Midway Blitz have body-worn cameras. Additionally, Defendant Bovino has agreed to have a body-worn camera assigned to him by 10/31/2025 and have completed BWC training. The Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all CBP use of force reports relating to Operation Midway Blitz from 9/2/2025 through 10/25/2025, by COB 10/31/2025. The Court further orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all BWC video corresponding to the use of force reports from 9/2/2025 through 10/25/2025 filed with the Court by COB 10/31/2025. The Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all additional CBP use of force reports and corresponding BWC video within 24 hours of finalization of the CBP reports. The Court orders Defendant Bovino to appear in court, in person, week days at 5:45 PM (modifying the Court's oral order during the hearing to account for the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse) in courtroom 1403 to report on the use of force activities for each day. Finally, the Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, by COB 10/31/2025 a chart containing the names, dates of arrest or detention, charges or citations, and resolution of the arrest or detention (e.g., released with charging, charged with misdemeanor, charged with felony, given summons, or given citation) for all individuals detained or arrested by CBP from 9/2/2025 through 10/29/2025 that is not directly related to an immigration enforcement violation, such as a failure to appear for an immigration appointment or an outstanding order of removal.

When asking about the future of lawyers in the age of Ai, lawyers and the public are not asking about the same thing.

Lawyers ask out of self-interest for themselves.

The public is asking how to solve future legal problems without lawyers.

Richard Susskind at #ClioCon2025:

AI isn’t just automating law, it’s redefining it.

By 2030, firms that focus on solving client problems (not just legal tasks) will win.

Lead the change. Don’t wait for it.

Thanks team @goclio.bsky.social for an amazing conference!

SB 771, currently on Gavin Newsom's desk, is a combination of unconstitutional goals, an incomplete understanding of technology, and drafting that makes it even worse.

This week I wrote to Newsom urging him to veto the bill.
