Is it a good idea for a young lawyer to start a family? Isn’t that a bad time?

It’ll always be a bad time if you are a lawyer devoted to your career.

But you can have a young family and have a healthy family. You will just need to sacrifice elsewhere.

Younger attorneys can fight back by knowing the law and citing it. Come prepared!

Are AI hallucinations in court filings decreasing?

We know that the technology is unreliable, so we have certainly taken steps to avoid this embarrassment.

Right???

Wrong. The rate of false filings is increasing. Exponentially.

A simple projector goes a long way to telling a story.

By the way, I differentiated attorney and lawyer to help with the illustration.

Expert witnesses are used by both sides in litigation to explain technical or complex issues to a jury.

Here, trial lawyer Mike Alder deposes an expert.

Her credentials are impeccable, but would jurors find her persuasive?

Trials are battles of credibility. But they are also battles of morality.

Watch how this attorney brilliantly used that to his benefit.
