Unlicensed law clerk fired after #ChatGPT #hallucinations found in filing

College students who have reportedly grown too dependent on ChatGPT are starting to face consequences after graduating and joining the workforce for placing too much trust in #chatbots.

Last month, a recent law school graduate lost his job after using ChatGPT to help draft a court filing that ended up being riddled with errors.

When your law clerk has more integrity than the Justice himself...Former #Alito #LawClerk ‘Aghast’ After Seeing #Jan6 #Flag Outside His Home, Calls For #Recusal. "The problem is that flag is #incendiary and it cannot do anything other than raise a reasonable inference of bias," Susan Sullivan said. https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/-i-was-aghast-alito-must-recuse-from-trump-cases-justice-s-former-clerk-says-212381253985 #SCOTUS #corruption #courts #democracy #constitution #MAGA #Trump #2020election #election2024 #insurrection #bias
'I was aghast!': Alito must recuse from Trump cases, justice's former clerk says

Susan Sullivan, a former law clerk for Samuel Alito when he was a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss her shock after learning the flag was flown upside down at Alito’s house and why she thinks Alito’s refusal to recuse himself from cases involving Trump given its connection to January 6 is “misguided” and “dangerous.”

The #case of #ClarenceThomas’s new #Lawclerk #taints the entire #judiciary.

In 2015, when #CrystalClanton was 20 and working for a #conservative #group allied with the #justice’s #wife, #GinniThomas, Clanton apparently sent #racist #texts to a fellow #employee “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE,” one text read. “Like f--- them all … I hate blacks. End of story.” (In Clanton’s text, the expletive was spelled out.)

The Crystal Clanton episode is a stain on the entire federal judiciary, which has proven itself incapable of and unwilling to enforce basic ethics rules.

Trump to testify again in business fraud trial - Political IQ

Trump attorney Christopher Kise said Monday that the former President plans to testify a second time in his usiness fraud civil trial.

Thursday, November 9, 2023, is DAY 26 in the #TrumpTrial. The #NYAG rested her case.*

#Trump defense begins Mon.

Today, just motions.

1. Trump seeks a “directed verdict;” a ruling saying the AG failed to back up her claims. (doomed)

2. NYAG seeks to bar 3 of 4 Trump experts for relevancy.

3. Defense also floated possibly moving for a mistrial using a bias argument centered on #Engoron’s principal #LawClerk. They’re on thin ice there.

*Weisselberg may be recalled.

#civil #fraud #trial

#AlinaHabba made clear that the motion would be in part about Justice Engoron's principal #LawClerk.

#Engoron: "Don't file that motion, please. I think it's important for the safety of my staff. I am 1,000% convinced, & you don't have any right or reason to complain about my confidential communication."

#Kise: “There's no way to file that motion without referencing the subject matter.”

Engoron: “I'm directing you not to make that motion [...] I'm going to protect my staff, okay."

The trial is deciding the remaining counts of #InsuranceFraud, #falsifying #business #records, issuing #false #financial statements & #conspiracy to commit all of the #fraud.

Justice #Engoron issued a limited #GagOrder after #Trump posted disparaging comments on social media about the judge’s #LawClerk.

Trump violated the order 2X (so far). Last Fri, the judge was forced to extend the gag order to Trump’s attys when they took over the abuse after trump’s had to stop.
