A reminder that nobody has done the reading, and if you do that alone you’ll soon find yourself absurdly ahead of the curve

Being a lawyer is explaining that justice, closure, revenge, and affordability are four different products.

A rare guest appearance by the High Court of South Africa in @TheGazetteUK ! (Apparently for the rule nisi for sequestration [bankruptcy?] to be final, the notice has to be placed in the government gazette where the respondent lives)

New: An "expert witness" in a $61 million lawsuit over an industrial explosion that killed three people and destroyed 200 homes used ChatGPT to write his report for the court. He prompted ChatGPT to "show how 3M is 0% at fault for the explosion at Watson Grinding"

intellegence – at Stellenbosch, South Africa

BREAKING NEWS: A warrant of arrest has been issued for a senior crime intellegence officer. Police just raided his Johannesburg home. He is on the run. Tune into @eNCA DSTV 403. @pule_jones and @abramjee are on the scene.

A fascinating moment in a standard High Court summary judgment application. Judge Elmien Du Plessis noted the defendant used AI to draft his heads of argument, and didn't even blink. First time to my knowledge that a court just goes with a "yeah, OK" acknowledgment of AI tools being used by a self-represented party.

Let me also say that, while the effort failed (and based on the reasons for judgment alone), the defences raised were not obviously terrible. Pretty much what you hear on any Tuesday in Motion Court when summary judgments are argued.
