And on Friday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied a stay in a case on whether the Republic of the Philippines or a class of individuals who suffered (or whose families suffered) at the hands of former Philippine President Ferdinand…
Generative artificial intelligence has changed the practice and business of law in a short amount of time, and that’s especially been the case for in-house counsel. According to an October report from the Association of Corporate Counsel, generative AI use among in-house lawyers has more than doubled over the last year.
