I have fired clients who use AI to communicate/double check my work. But, my current bane are litigious pro se parties/codefendants using AI to paper you with Motions/filings that make little to no sense, arnt procedurally/substantively correct, but still require my clients to pay to me respond.

I sympathize that some clients use AI to organize their thoughts, but as a whole, I find clients using AI to draft their communications to me to be more of a barrier than a help to clear communication, because AI tends to throw in lots of chaff and inaccuracies that cause confusion.

There is a good argument that Zohran Mamdani did not win the New York mayoral race, because constitutionally votes for him are only worth 3/5ths of votes for Cuomo. —Ilan Wurman, Yale Law Review, Spring 2026

Something that never ceases to amaze me is the sheer number of attorneys who don’t understand the rules of evidence and how to properly object/impeach. Your overly engineered opening statement is far less important than the evidence and testimony you can’t get in now bc of me.
