Under the new proposal, current or former #DOJ lawyers would be prohibited from assisting state-level investigations until the #US AG's “review” is finished.
#Trump appointee AG #PamBondi already signed the draft rule, which will be open for public comment for 30 days starting on Thursday before it can go into effect.

That would mean that the #US AG, by dragging out such a review, could stall any such investigation.

The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday finalized a tentative opinion issued in September that no longer requires soon-to-be lawyers to attend a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. The power to approve those law schools now rests with the state's highest civil court.
Using AI tools in the legal field can be a good productive booster... if done right. If not used correctly, you could send your clients' data where you shouldn't - where you have not control of what happens to it later.
