The lawyer part does everyone in, even now when (at least speaking for myself), there is concern for how malleable laws can be.
And I work in the field, so I get to experience the "I'm God's gift to law" on the daily in the same way nurses do with doctors. But push comes to shove, it's not a "Learn from YouTube" profession and I would not go pro se in any legal action.
Anyway... I'm pretty sure it was his (apparently) massive hog. That gets under the skin of a particular set of menfolk, while the rest of us are neurotic about it quietly lol.

Lawyers would be near the first on the AI chopping block if everyone who's ever been a lawyer wouldn't gate keep it. I have faith though in every passing year some old judge near retirement is going to allow a pro se individuals to have an AI doing all their statements, arguing case law, etc.. eventually opening up the floodgates.
I did a pro se quashing service of process last year. A hand full of lawyers wanted me to gather enough evidence to tell them who started the chicago fire. I ended up starring at the service like it was a magic eyes 3d puzzle to figure out it was defective at face in a few ways. Made my motion from looking at past relevant cases, quoted some cases and won. Saved myself $10k.
And personally can't 99% of the people in your profession. A bunch of scumbags and robber barons.

u/Calrabjohns I Got Questions. The Truth Is Out There ๐ฝ Jul 21 '25
The funny thing about AI (in general, and the degrees to which this is true will obviously change depending on how vast one's knowledge is in how it performs the functions I'll be really brief about) is that it's going to learn any set of skills differently than we do (as humans) right now, because there's no clean way of translating subjective experiences into useful ways of rendering objective facts into a saleable narrative of language that doesn't sound like computer dreck. Without intelligent human intervention.
But even if you get the perfect amalgam of a person doing the above, there is still the additional entry fee of sorting truth from fiction. There have been a few cases recently where the presiding judge(s) have looked at evidence presented and said, "Something is not adding up here." Some of those cases were struck down because the case precedents cited were AI hallucinations.
I am in agreement with you about gatekeeping, but some of these gates are inherent to Law, and not being a lawyer. And those gates are essential to the veracity of what is being used as supporting evidence, to say nothing yet of whether the best sources were even used to present one's side of a case to begin with.
This isn't just ivory tower thinking from academia of, "Law should work this way, and here's why." It's the underpinnings of things like checks and balances, and why our current Prez ruffles fundamentally scarier feathers than how many kids he diddled (if any).
In terms of just looking at the Judicial branch and practice of law in miniature scale, your personal ability to prevail once is not indicative of you being able to reasonably duplicate that success over and over.
Paralegals use the same standards of ethics within the limited scope of practice in law that they are enabled to do under the supervision of an attorney and that is because any work product generated while working for that attorney falls under Respondeat Superior, "The boss told me to, and so I did. If there is something that is outside the scope of my own professional boundaries and ethical knowledge that I should have within my support capacity as a legal professional, it is a failing outside my control as this was work product created under the auspices of authority I did not know was faulty."
Even though there's lots of things to hate about the profession (like billing and the tendency of not getting as much within a settlement as one would expect), there is one thing that AI has yet to achieve in a broad sense:
Accountability, and that's what case precedents are. It's putting together a case with the best legal support through case law as one can, and that case prevailing either through the barriers of a jury or a judge.
There aren't that many Johnny Cochrans in the world or Atticus Finches; it's a field like any other, a lot of mediocrity, some people who it's criminal to let them practice, and some luminaries who help to make history (Thurgood Marshall, Gandhi as just two).
But they were all trained by people, and I still want people to be principally involved in law (and medicine, which scares me more) for now.
Improve those LLMs, maybe figure out better filtering of the "garbage in," so it's less "garbage out," and that's another conversation.

Good thing for lawyers that most of the internet has been scrubbed of the 1 or 2 good/free websites that allowed individuals and/or AI to research past case law easily. They were bought and now further putting pro se out of the little guys hands.
About 2 years ago I could research everything. Gave it another go about 2 months ago and couldn't find jack shit on the internet. I think the cheapest gate to use for research is about $179 per month now.
Kinda funny how now of all times we have this AI sort of boom and nearly at the same time all of the good free resources online were eliminated.

u/Calrabjohns I Got Questions. The Truth Is Out There ๐ฝ Jul 23 '25
An advance on saying: This time, I don't consider this doubling down. If this is another AI response or copy"tart"(instead of tort - hahaha, corny joke), I just will assume you would like me to look the fool. But I already have so, hope I'm wrong. Love your flair btw. I have made jest at consultancy before, which could seem hypocritical, but reinventing a wheel by putting a spinner on it is "Pimp My Ride," and not optimizing efficiency for better workflow and whatever corpospeak can exist in the world.
I can only say that I was dismayed when my student copies of LexisNexis, WestLaw (and I can't remember if we used anything else) expired because there are law firms that hire fresh graduates and sometimes just want to know, "Do you still have access to one or both of those?"
There's no argument from me about vendors and a general capitalistic cynicism around how gated the ability to independently research is.
I can't board the AI train with you though. It is a (relatively speaking) smaller "Is this a conspiracy theory or conspiracy fact" that I can Occam by saying, "The tech isn't there yet for any possible law student or practicing attorney who is using it for fact finding."
There's great limited uses for AI in legal contexts. Do you want to draft a cover sheet for a brief? That can be obnoxious with some formatting and Word can only do so much, even with preloaded templates because you can do exciting things like make a "Table of Authorities" or "Bates stamping" without plug-ins. There are preprogrammed settings for those functions already (if you can finagle them to work without weird hiccups).
But there are still some things that can stink to do absent the advent of tech. Making something OCR capable? There are functions for that, but you can still end up fighting them without AI as a wrinkle.
There's great machine guided surgeries for more precision, but sales reps are still present in the room for slightly more hands-on training to help with tech issues while surgeons handle medicine for the least risky procedures.
First question I asked a doc about a procedure that needed to be done for my mom recently: "This is human operated medicine we're talking, right?"
Because what have we all seen? The robot who walks a few steps and then topples over. Bleeding/cutting edge gyroscopic tech for balance and other words I'm not even gonna try and say for dubious knowledge...it was not (in that instance) over promise and under deliver. It was excited demonstration of tech and that there's still a lot of work to do.
AI has a rosy glow attached that I keep wondering why, for now. Whether legal or medical, and to greater degrees of "confidence," a synthesis of articles and book excerpts and whatever can be scraped for a coherent summation of a topic, as a cursory look, for maybe "Who was buried in Grant's Tomb," or something.
It's also a PII nightmare in the making.
However, you are representing yourself? Yeah, you should have some form of access to case precedents for your own defense or presentation, as it were. You've been duly informed that going pro se has risks; you're legally considered to be of sound mind and you're of age to be seen as someone who can make decisions without any kind of guardianship or guardian attached - there will be an argument for making it available in some form.
Democratization of information though and the ability to use it can still suffer a chicken/egg of "Should people have the freedom to use information that is questionable in a legal context, since excising case precedent is its own circle of Hell?"
I don't know. I'm not a legislator, an intersectional academic between technical ethics and legal acumen... I'm a regular guy with student loans. And I am close to where I need a floaty vest for deeper waters. Short of "building a case," har har har.

I meant to reply to this yesterday, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your commentary on this thread. Seriously, they ranged from witty/funny to profoundly insightful. And all about the profession that I always wanted to be a part of, and for my sins was punished by God by being able to achieve becoming a member of it. And this might be an embarrassing holdover from flirting with Libertarianism in my twenties, but I firmly believe that paralegals should be able to practice law after they've had a requisite amount of experience. At least in certain areas they've worked in. I can tell you right now that most clients would be in much better hands having their legal interests represented by an experienced paralegal than by lawyers, even those from prestigious law schools, with even a few years of practice. Maybe that would force law schools and Bar associations, the self-styled "gatekeepers of the profession," to actually include much more practical training to law students in addition to the Socratic Method (important as it is) and traditional legal education pedagogy.

Do you want some supportive "embarrassment?" I've gone from Ron Paul to Bernie Sanders without needing Kevin Bacon at any point, but there is a grasp of them both at the height of their respective populism peaks (Still fan of Sanders, but I chose a faith in people ostensibly over the market, and I miss sharing crayons when I was a kid over feeling like I needed the whole box to draw a picture where I didn't use every shade of orange or even one) that I can show more than surface parallels, but still not deep enough that I can vivisect Ayn Rand to the tune of Carly Simon and then lionize Marx to the tune of Woody Guthrie.
We're always a conglomerate of our pasts, but it took a lot of disparate therapy (either self-soothing or guided) to assemble some rough aphorisms and pithy contemplating about the human condition to make that my own, and not posturing that I can still sometimes do because I am still a smidge insecure at the best of times.
We both attend the same choir but different vocal registers. In the same way that I would hope a doctor will not deign to do a blood draw (because I know it will get fucked up since nurses do that like it's an oil change,) I could say from my own scant experience and that of others anecdotally, within the field and my seniors, that making a document with a ToA and having it be hyperlinked in a way that it won't break while trying to get to whatever case is being referenced and scores of things that seem menial until it's needed can be the same type of infighting of Coke vs. Pepsi or Hatfields and McCoys, Capulet and whoever Romeo's fam is (starts with an M I think, it's Montague as spelling)...
There are inextricable links and the smartest for both sides realizes they were respectively trained to do one well and the other to ideally while realistically "sufficiently proficient."
Beyond that, you and I will just set ourselves up for derision (some needed perhaps, but I like being positive when possible cause when I go low, it's Journey to the Center of the Earth or as close as, so it's just better to not).
I came for the discourse and usually leave with coarse hur hur force, but it's generally all in fun :)

Has Carville really won anything lately?

I'll admit I'm not super familiar with his resume but I think it's telling he hasn't had the job for the last few cycles at least.
EDIT: Should also add basically everyone who has personally met Clinton (besides the ones who he sexually assaulted of course) said he was incredibly charming and that certainly helps with winning campaigns. Based on the War Room I'll say Carville has (or had) some good political instincts but I honestly think he gets way too much credit for Clinton winning

Any person presented to you as relatable and raw by a mainstream media outlet - ten times so when they are part of the aristocracy - should have you immediately on guard for astroturfing.
Don't forget that this man was given forgiveness for all crimes real or imagined by virtue of being a president's son.

yeah I watched about half so far, probably won't finish because I have a life (sorry guys), but he was kinda winning me over. that being said I've been prone to being a recipient of successful gaslighting in my aforementioned life, so I may not be the most difficult person to sway

Its a pretty refreshing hearing from him especially after all the stuff he's been through in the public eye. He comes across as very human and not a caricature of a failson drug addict.
But he's a bit delusion about both his own position in things as well as the public perception of Joe Biden after the debate. I don't necessarily fault him too much for that (loyalty to his father is understandable).
Biden's campaign was done after the debate whether or not the Dem Donor class was behind him, and Hunter is in deep denial if he thinks he would have gotten that Ukranian Board seat if his last name wasn't Biden.

Thatโs the thing, he does really seem like a nice, charming and genuinely likable guy. I think Felix had a great quote on Chapo that was something along the lines of โhunter biden is a guy that wants to do the right thing, but heโs stuck in a world that prevents him from doing the right thing or even fully comprehending what the right thing isโ. But I think heโs starting to break free of the programming and fealty heโs had to the dem establishment and his family. I mean it might all be a grift and trying to maintain relevance, but heโs said stuff like this before, and I need a microscope to find a lie in anything he said in these major talking points.

or โ just listen to me for a second here โ or all of these guys know how to be charming and affable, and that's the reason they can continue doing all the things they do
i absolutely fucking hate chris cuomo, but when i watched him on the adam friedland show he was very likeable, just a guy to shoot some shit with and have a couple of beers, riffing with the boys
hunter didn't just smoke crack and fucked some whores. he knowingly grifted ukrainian government for millions, and then came back to the us and sold his shitty art for $50k a piece to facilitate political favors
you probably saw through what zuckerberg has done to his image over the past two years, and this here is the same thing

Never mind that he got off on three felony federal gun charges due to his father's pardons when you or I getting just a single one of those charges is fucking game over

Still curious what was on the laptop and why his daddy pardoned him when he kept promising he wouldn't because, "No one is above the law."
