1/ California Bar to consider proposal concerning Legal Tech and the Unauthorized Practice of Law: Should approved entities be able to "to use technology-driven delivery systems to engage in authorized practice of law activities."
board.calbar.ca.gov/docs/agendaIte…
2/ I've long worried that legal tech companies that provide analytics could be swept up in UPL suits. That the bar will authorize *some* entities to use this technology suggests that unauthorized entities will not be able to use this technology.
3/ Don't scoff at France's ban on legal analytics. State Bars could achieve similar goals through UPL Laws

1/ Art. III, Sec. 2 provides "[i]n all Cases . . . in which a State shall be [a] Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." Does the text of the Constitution grant #SCOTUS the discretion to decline jurisdiction of a case in which "a State shall be [a] Party"?
2/ In Nebraska v. Colorado, Justices Thomas and Alito said #SCOTUS could not decline to exercise jurisdiction in a suit between two states. Federal law provides that #SCOTUS has "exclusive" jurisdiction over such suits.

3/ Thomas and Alito also noted that #SCOTUS has declined to exercise jurisdiction where only one state is a party. They would reconsider this doctrine.

1/ In April, I flagged a CA11 en banc case concerning Terry v. Ohio. The majority (per J. Pryor) said it was controlled by #SCOTUS precedent. The dissent (J. Jordan) said that the original meaning of the 4th Amendment supported the defendant.
2/ I discuss this exchange in my new draft article, "Originalism and Stare Decisis in the Lower Courts" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
3/ Johnson field a cert petition supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1… He argues that Terry frisks are contrary to the 4th Amendment's original meaning and that the majority "refused to consider Petitioner’s originalist argument." (I disagree with this characterization of Pryor's opinion)

1/ .@MarciaCoyle and @Tonymauro provide update on the status of J. Stevens's papers: Documents from before 10/1/2005 will become public on 10/1/2020. Docs after 2005 will become public in 2030.
2/ A related note. More of CJ Rehnquist's papers should be open: from Dec 1975 (when Stevens was appointed) till Sept 1981 (when O'Connor was appointed). Those papers will include his records from the OT 1980 term when a young John G. Roberts was his law clerk.
3/ The next batch of Rehnquist papers will stretch from Sept 1981 (when O'Connor was appointed) till Feb 1988 (when Kennedy was appointed).

Earlier today I learned about this #StandWithVic hashtag and the total gibberish sent by his lawyers as part of a LOLsuit

Reminder to check out the defamation basics #Law140 on why this is going to end poorly for him
You seem to have missed the thread explaining the law

Not entirely surprised literacy is not your strong suit though

Witty!

India (Bhārat), aka Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya) constitutes a mosaic of paradoxes and contradictions starting with the existence of gigantic socio-economic disparities which are in sharp contrast with the spectacular technological development in most productive sectors.
Such contradictions reflect significant measurement discrepancies which, in India's case, could be on the order of hundreds of millions of people.
Furthermore, there is the problem of Islamic terrorists, who are trained abroad and find easy fuel in the contradictions within it.
Finally, there’s agriculture which, by some estimates, accounts for 90% of India’s water consumption. Farmers meet irrigation demands by indiscriminately extracting groundwater, which some say accounts for a quarter of the world’s groundwater usage.

A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

1)Thread. BREAKING: Chinese intelligence-backed hackers penetrated the computer system of a U.S. law firm. #Cyberlaw #hackers #CyberAttacks #ActiveMeasures
@TrickFreee @tribelaw @BartSlawson @WillBenton1 @BillTilley bit.ly/2StIE1X
2) Attackers used stolen user credentials "possibly gained via a third-party supply chain compromise" to gain access to the firm's network in late 2017, before installing malware that allowed them to obtain user passwords.

3) The unidentified law firm represented clients in the pharmaceutical, technology, electronics, biomedical & automotive sectors. The sensitive information law firms hold has made them prime targets for hackers in recent years. #Cyberlaw #hackers #CyberAttacks #ActiveMeasures
