They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial.

Just a reminder of my favorite idea for a law student note: Pick an important Supreme Court case from 5-10 years ago, and see how lower courts are interpreting it. It's helpful for practitioners and courts, and something law students can research and present effectively.

Sundar Pichai does not know how to live.
Pichai is showing how Gmail composed an email to his friend offering vacation advice he didn’t have time to assemble himself. This whole oft-cited example of using AI for friendly personal correspondence still seems off to me. I’d rather get a brief note I knew was really from Sundar!
