Shawn EisenachCongratulations to the Law360 Union on a tentative agreement!
jonny (good kind)The Law360 union, editors at LexisNexis and RELX owned publication Law360, are on a ULP strike. They've been bargaining since November 2022, management has refused a proposal that would give the union control over health insurance, and has illegally laid off unionized workers.

Cory DoctorowGiven this history, the fact that Obama - a self-style progressive Democrat - put this guy in charge of the nation's antitrust enforcement is darkly hilarious. You couldn't ask for a more canid #DingoBabysitter. But even more grimly funny is the fact that #Law360 - a trade journal for lawyers - got Gelfand to write its op-ed on the DoJ's Google suit:

Biden Admin.'s Anti-Merger Stance Is Leading To Bad Policies - Law360
A U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division speech reflects the Biden administration's goal to move enforcement in a markedly anti-merger direction, an approach that is leading to bad policies and enforcement decisions, says Cleary attorney David Gelfand, a former DOJ Antitrust Division official.
Matthew F. FerraroIn this piece for #law360, Brent Gurney and I of #WilmerHale dig into a growing issue: concerns over #deepfakes in the courtroom.
In several recent high-profile trials, defendants have sought to cast doubt on the reliability of video evidence by suggesting that #artificialintelligence may have surreptitiously altered the videos.
These challenges are the most notable examples yet of defendants leveraging the growing prevalence in society of #AI-manipulated media to question evidence that, until recently, many thought was nearly unassailable.
These challenges will only get more prominent with the rise of #GenerativeAI (see e.g., #OpenAI
#ChatGPT, etc.)
#Jan6 defendants like Joshua Christopher Doolin and Guy Reffitt raised concerns over #deepfake evidence, as did Kyle Rittenhouse and prosecutors (briefly) in the "Pennsylvania Cheer Mom Case".
How can litigants prepare for litigation in a post-truth age? In light of recent experience, consider the following best practices.
For Litigants Proffering Evidence
- Follow Federal Rules of Evid 902(13)-(14)
- Do not take any evidence for granted
- Provide circumstantial evidence to help establish the authenticity of open-source imagery
- Prepare forensic witnesses to address questions around #deepfakes
- Be knowledgeable about the technology you are using.
For Adverse Parties
- Review disclosed evidence in advance of the trial.
- If media is questionable, consider retaining an expert to explain why it may be inauthentic.
- Have a good faith basis to question any evidence.
Attorneys must act consistent with the Rules of Evid & with their duties as public citizens with special responsibility for the quality of justice to zealously represent their clients, while not recklessly undermining the idea of epistemic truth in an era riven by heedless doubt.

On the other hand, that's *exactly* the problem with not being able to warehouse offensive marks; to police 'em, you gotta use 'em. /1 https://www.law360.com/sports-and-betting/articles/1548085/univ-of-illinois-secretly-clinging-to-mascot-court-told- #trademarks
Univ. Of Illinois Secretly Clinging To Mascot, Court Told - Law360
An online sports retailer says the University of Illinois is trying to have its "cake and eat it too" by publicly distancing the school from its former mascot, while still semi-secretly maintaining a "small underground licensing program" to keep the school's control over the fictional Native American.
The Privacy PostLaw360 riporta che negoziatori degli Stati Uniti e dell’Unione Europea sono vicini alla finalizzazione di un meccanismo transatlantico di trasferimento dei dati, un accordo per semplificare lo scambio di dati personali tra le due parti del mondo che potrebbe essere annunciato già questa primavera. Intervenendo alla conferenza State of the Net a Washington, DC, Alex #Greenstein, direttore per il #privacyshield del Dipartimento del Commercio degli Stati Uniti, ha affermato che il suo team e le loro controparti europee stanno cercando di chiarire la confusione attorno agli scambi di informazioni internazionali il più rapidamente possibile.
