If #LawFedi knows any attorneys with their own #LawFirm and motivation to grow, there is a trial of what a niche #SmallBusiness coaching program is all about on June 3rd in #Atlanta.

It's an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, the goal being to get real exposure for what’s possible at the next level, and see the value of #coaching by actually being in the room.

Violence has a linguistic dimension that's often overlooked.

A study in the Turkish Journal of Hygiene and Experimental Biology found a clear link between physical violence and "discursive violence" — the harmful language of influential figures, which followers apply more aggressively. Three factors are at play: the perpetrator, the victim, and the cause of violence. Media and law focus on the first two; the hidden driver is the third.

Family, social and psychological support mechanisms, peers, education, and media all matter. But respectful language isn't just politeness — it can be an evidence-based violence prevention strategy.

A colleague alerted me to this order in a criminal appeal in which experienced counsel filed a brief generated by Westlaw's CoCounsel AI (not Chat GPT). It cited real cases but generated fake quotes and misrepresented holdings.

The results:
1. He will not be paid for his work.
2. He was removed from the case.
3. He was referred for discipline in two different courts.

No thanks. My law partner and I have set clear rules for our firm. AI use is not allowed.
