I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

It's AMA, so here's something under the category of "anything" . . .

How has AI affected your work as a lawyer, if at all? Do you expect it to change your work or how you bill?

Although we have a lot of AI clients, I've been slow to take advantage of AI but it's starting to transform our practice, helping with the drafting of letters of recommendation and our overall argument. So we're able to prepare applications much faster.
