China probably has the most comprehensive data on its users from a surveillance perspective

It would be interesting to do a find “stablecoin” and replace with “fiat currency” command on this paper to see how it reads

I agree. The law authorizes only the attorney general to crack the whip, and limits that prosecutorial discretion with an blanket affirmative defense. Who wins here?

This is toothless. Without a private cause of action available to the consumer, prosecutorial discretion means offenses will go unpunished based on political winds.

The author justifies his desire to regulate facebook with election outcomes he finds personally unpalatable. (u mad, bro?) Yes, visceral content has high engagement. But is this re…

>Getting to the merits is the point but the point is often lost in the game of the process. True statement? True, but you're assuming that the process and the merits are totally di…

Many of the issues raised by your comment are the result of civil procedural rules. These rules are not intentionally designed to postpone rulings on the merits, and instead were b…

I don't fully understand what you're insinuating. Could you explain?

This is clever! I see at least one flaw, though: what if the two sides disagree about the amount of money that should be contributed to the fund?

^This happens routinely

>We do not have equal access to our judicial system in the United States. I agree, but I think we can be more specific. Criminals (or those accused of a crime) are constitutionally…

Corporations are people. They are taxed like people, they break laws like people, and they own property like people. They just can't vote.

so how do I make money from this?

Prosecutors must disclose exculpatory evidence, including the video you're describing

Most contracts provide for attorneys fees to be paid by the losing party. I much prefer the "pay your own way unless otherwise agreed" method to the English rule. Beyond the contra…

This seems overly broad. Can you explain where you got this information, or in what context you think it applies? As an attorney with litigation experience, this is extremely puzzl…

I don't think the government and guild protections are fictions. This article seems to be relevant: http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/21/lawyer-disrupt-thyself/ I don't think they're f…

Our firm automates document assembly software for wills, trusts, purchase agreements, residential leases, and court forms. We do some litigation, but in our small town it typically…

I guess I should have explained more what I meant by "justice." In your quoted language, I intended it to mean justice as handed down by a person in a black robe. Clients are alrea…

You're right that analyzing overlapping areas of law might also lend itself to an AI's strength. I guess I meant that applying those overlapping concepts to achieve a certain real …

Lawyer here. I do not know how soon AI will achieve either the humanity or know-how to replace lawyers, but will offer a few observations as a practitioner. As for the know-how: Pr…

"we're going to have to rise up against our evil government!" This stance, and your criticism of it, miss the mark. In my view, legitimizing private gun ownership should not be bas…

No mention of MF Doom? Metalface? Doom? Victor Vaughan? (All the same gentleman from LA)
