IMO, bang down the doors of your office to be there as much as possible. Establish meaningful relationships with your co-workers, supervisors, partners, clients, and anyone and everyone that you possibly can. Become the trusted friend, resource, knowledgeable person that people think of whenever they have an issue.
We get more and more disconnected as technology continues to evolve and AI powered legal tools are an absolute game-changer. I am sorry, but it is as true as it is scary. We are in the toddler phase of AI powered legal tools and they are already capable of producing mid-level associate summaries without the necessary 3-5 years of training.
Attorney eyes and minds are still necessary for legal work, particularly complex legal work, but I am seeing in-house counsel rely less and less on outside counsel for more routine tasks, and in-house business teams rely less and less on in-house counsel for tasks they are confident they can handle with an AI tool.
If you aren’t in the office building relationships and are content with being a talking head in a videoconference room, I am concerned that you are making it that much easier for a decision maker to go with the faceless AI tool in lieu of the faceless attorney. I don’t know if meaningful in-person relationships will stem the tide, but I do know they cannot hurt.
I hope and pray with my whole heart that I’m wrong and otherwise have my thoughts/comments torn apart by counterpoints on this blog that can algorithmically prove that not being in the office has no affect on job security.
You know what also Affects job security, @11:11? Spelling, punctuation, etc. You last eddited your comment an hour ago. Maybe give it another pass. Your hint is in this very comment. Happy Friday y’all! Where da shots at?!?!
Maybe the more important message is to show up where it counts. I’ve made and maintained plenty of relationships over phone and zoom that are only further solidified when we finally meet in person if it ever does. What people want is someone they can count on who will answer the phone when they call or respond to the email in a timely fashion.
As for AI, teach people how to use and show them the value you add to what it does. there is a happy medium here somewhere.
@11:11
In the rant, there is much bended knee to AI. AI is not your friend. It is program that you can use. It may be useful, like a hammer and saw, but is nothing more than a tool in your toolbox. You, not AI, are responsible to your client and Courts for your work product.
Another thought.
Because you always have to proof the AI output, you may find that it takes less time to do the work without AI.

Lance Hendron running for Henderson JC 3. So much better than the incumbent. However she is a woman incumbent so I give him little chance.
Male here. Does it matter if voters prefer one sex over the other? I honestly can’t bring myself to care.

No fan of Carrie Cox. But the allegedly “private conversation” is a public official in the common areas of a public building in the course and scope of her duties. Yeah much better uses of resources than prosecuting this as a felony.
“Henderson Councilwoman Carrie Cox allegedly admitted to recording Councilwoman Monica Larson when she was found behind a curtain at Henderson City Hall recording a private conversation Larson was having with others, according to a police report. Cox was indicted Wednesday on a felony charge of monitoring or attempting to monitor a private conversation related to an incident at the center of the case that occurred on Jan. 9, according to the indictment. The conversation Cox allegedly recorded involved Larson and/or Michael Hiltz and/or Richard Smith. Larson told officers she was having a conversation in the common area of City Hall after a retirement event for former city manager Richard Derrick when she said Cox emerged from behind a curtain and told Larson that she recorded their conversation, according to a Henderson Police Department incident report.”
The DA’s position is based on an AG Opinion which is itself a stretch. They are treating this as if Carrie Cox planted a bug or did surreptitious recording. Very stupid what she did and the DA’s Office theory is a stretch. Another example that a suspect should never cooperate and speak to the police without consulting an attorney. Never admit anything even if it is believe to be legal. I also think the problem is that she is not a party to the conversations. Carrie Cox was naive and foolish. I hope the charge gets thrown out on a motion to dismiss. Would a jury even convict?

What’s a good indication that a nation’s health system is failing? When there is measles. It’s a barometer.
Las Vegas jurors on Friday returned a verdict in favor of General Motors and against a woman seriously injured in a crash while wearing a lap belt as a passenger in a pick-up truck.
Takes balls of iron to turn down an offer like that. More than anyone I’ve seen during my career, Eglet has made juries do what he tells them to do. It can’t happen every time; but with a record like his, he was justified to expect it. This isn’t an Eglet dickride, it’s an acknowledgement that he’s been incredibly successful.

For that matter, sometimes the court docket doesn’t get it right either, defaulting to the first lawyer to appear, assuming whoever is doing the CM/ECF docketing isn’t paying attention to that flag when initiating a case.
NV SC upheld the denial of TikTok’s motion to dismiss. This is the deceptive trade practices act case filed by the state against TikTok.

How does one get a refund in Las vegas Justice Court for an overturned traffic ticket? It’s been months.
Refund Justice Court–you might have to go to the window and get it done. There is no phone assistance or email assistance.
Thnx

Anyone who downvotes this either has no experience with Henderson JC or has not watched election cycles for the last six years.
More than the last six years. I’d say more like the last two or three judicial election cycles.

What’s a good indication that a nation’s health system is failing? When there is measles. It’s a barometer.
Nation’s health system or that whackjobs think vaccines are a conspiracy?
Measles.
It is not the health care system problem. It is the parents’ fault for not inoculating their children.
The courts should close on Fridays (at least for civil filings and hearings).
I think you would be lucky to find a Judge who is present in the building after 11 AM on a Friday.
Eglet was just defensed in the general motors trial. Full defense verdict.
wow
Las Vegas jurors on Friday returned a verdict in favor of General Motors and against a woman seriously injured in a crash while wearing a lap belt as a passenger in a pick-up truck.
One wonders how much the defendant had offered prior to trial and what the plaintiff demanded. Eglet asked for $64 million at trial.
Eglet doesn’t get out of bed for less than $50mm.
First trial without either Dennis Prince or Bob Adams?
He said “I’m not disappointed in me.”
I would bet a nickel that what he really said was “I’m not disappointed for myself”, because then he said he was disappointed for his client
Nah, 12:43’s quote is correct
Was Eglet’s split from Bob Adams amicable?
Defense offered Eglet $20 million prior to verdict being read. Oof!
should have taken it. dumb move
Takes balls of iron to turn down an offer like that. More than anyone I’ve seen during my career, Eglet has made juries do what he tells them to do. It can’t happen every time; but with a record like his, he was justified to expect it. This isn’t an Eglet dickride, it’s an acknowledgement that he’s been incredibly successful.
Thanks Mr. Eglet for your input.
