And the icing on the cake: power sockets only for counsel. They bewilderingly didn’t install any behind the second row.

I’m spending three days in the RCJ and both the hyperactive air conditioning and the lack of basic amenities (wifi, coffee, water (!)) make me despair. 😭 We knew that litigation is a bad idea, but this…

Law firm that cited fake AI-generated cases to pay wasted costs A law firm has been ordered to pay wasted costs after it cited two fictitious cases that were generated by artificial intelligence.

“…a member of the administrative team had drafted the application using a built-in AI research feature of a widely used legal software…”

It’d be interesting to know what software this was - afaik all providers positively state that their AI tools cannot hallucinate cases. 🤨

I adore London&fully agree on Dubai, but the author‘s criticism of Paris& Berlin is a joke. French political turmoil is bad is it? Have you watched UK news since 2014? German trains are slow? Thank God for the sound state of UK Infrastructure.

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Full on attack on the rule of law by Jenrick. Also fundamentally factually inaccurate - a judge is a mediator apparently

What they said. Brazen dishonesty.
