Description

Failing to cite your secondary sources in briefs is poor form. But is it plagiarism? Jeff and Tim debate. And when the Supreme Court The publishes a case, should it explain itself? PJ Gilbert and Tim say yes, Supreme Court and Jeff disagree.

Also in this episode:

  • Can copying from a CLE article really get you sanctioned? Kelly v. Tao suggests… maybe.
  • Presiding Justice Gilbert rails (again) against the Court's silent de-publishing practices.
  • Deny a request for admission in a one-way fee-shifting case? You might still owe fees—Gammo v. Morrell.
  • $105k in sanctions after failing to abandon claims disproven in discovery—Atlantic v. Baroness.
  • The perils of citing the wrong fee statute—Martin v. Hogue.
  • Gibson Dunn bills $1.8M for May alone in public interest litigation over LA homelessness.
  • Can ChatGPT testify against you? OpenAI’s CEO says maybe.
  • How AI tools are reshaping billing, ethics, and expectations for appellate lawyers.

Tune in for AI ethics, briefing blunders, and why even your RFA denials could cost you.
