Comment on Tyler Tech and the Perils of Privatization by Tommy

Tommy — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:41:34 +0000

I appreciate the library of law and the case paw references on Tyler and Todd. I have to get back to my investigation.. it’s carahsoft or caraway Berkshire and Hathaway every state in the unions officiating agencies using digital currency transactions in a manner that makes trumps convictions look like a 2 dollar picnic. At any rate it’s nice to see in not individually scrutinizing but on another hand maybe I should be. An analyst position of this caliber could command a 200,000 annual salary with stipends if I analyze for both sides of what term did you use the proverbial coin. 2 sided of course plausible deniable decisive, but who I’ll stop there in a world where intelligence was once long range recon now any desk jockey can steal the show in between affairs with co workers and dates with possible and still make it home in time to eat a sandwich and contemplate how to work it out with 10 other against the grain activities. Family school friends social media spirituality not in that order but …

As an appearance attorney I deal with one major problem with this approach to legal technology: private sector consumers of courtroom information are not connected. This causes major problems with massive legal consumers, such as debt collected companies who file millions of lawsuits in small claims courts each year. Direct connection those firms could help save millions in attorneys fees, especially if dockets could be managed by agreement.

Comment on How Do Lawyers’ Expertise Matter in Ordinary Litigation? by Peter Good

I was particularly intrigued by the discussion around lawyers needing both expertise and experience when litigating ordinary cases. You highlighted how each element contributes to successful outcomes, with knowledge of the law, skill in applying it & negotiating, as well as familiarity within the court arena playing vital roles.

Comment on Is Climate Change Really a Lawyer Regulation Issue? by El Roam

Interesting, surprising in fact.

Not to disclose, may really become great deal. Yet, when dealing with such vague prospects (like climate change and its implications) caution is needed here of course. So, one may think of simple method:

“Ceiling” and “floor”:

Pretty fair.

Smart lawyer, would assess so implications, by disclosing the lower (or lowest) figures, and, at the same token, the highest (or more severe). Each reader or policy maker, may pick up the right level of risk in light of such scale given.

Of course, one needs to point out or refer to reliable international or authorized sources or standards.

Pretty fair. Pretty reasonable.

Thanks

Comment on Is Obedience Always Support? Government Lawyers in Evil Regimes by Penelope Andrews

Penelope Andrews — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 16:05:19 +0000

A very compelling piece by Professor Roiphe, which will now take me to Professor Luban’s article. Her analysis reminds me of the dilemma faced by lawyers in apartheid South Africa. We in the anti-apartheid camp mostly took Arendt’s position, since apartheid had been declared a crime against humanity. But even during normal times lawyers may face a similar quandary, especially in the areas of health, immigration, financial regulation, and others – as Professor Roiphe points out. That may create even greater challenges.

Very important. Very interesting. This is really highly complicated issue. Just one point right now here:

It is not only about mitigating harm or, stay out of such business. There are many other considerations. One of them is:

Legacy left behind.

Victims, history, human beings, shall remember, that within such total darkness, some sparks of light emerged, and encouraged the victims or humanity. This is extremely important for next generations. It is shifting the perception, from totality or total stigmatization, to somehow relative perception about right from wrong.

As good illustration, that Jewish doctrine or perception of:

“Righteous Among the Nations”

Persons, who risked their lives during the atrocities of the Holocaust, just for saving some few. This is thanks to those who have acted from within the regime (not once).

Here one may read:

For the rest, we won’t stay young anymore no more….

Thanks

Comment on Weaponizing The Law and the Cost of Lawyers in Intimate Partner Violence Actions by ‘Weaponizing The Law and the Cost of Lawyers in Intimate Partner Violence Actions’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Heather Douglas, Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law (2021). Across the world, millions of women experiencing violence and coercive control by an intimate partner turn to the law for help. Lawyers and justice systems ill-equipped to deal with this complex issue are often accused of missing, and even compounding, harms. Heather Douglas’s Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law documents her study of this phenomenon. Her book is based on the results of a four-year study in which she conducted up to three interviews (n =178 interviews in total) with 65 female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Australia … (more) […]

[…] study. Such recognition arguably stands in tension with the thoughtful, and in my view, needed, calls for lawyer regulators to take up “evidence-based regulation.” But commitments to evidence-based regulation need not be abandoned in the pursuit of evaluation […]

Comment on Transnational Lawyers Need to Rethink their Legal Ethics by César S. Arjona

Many thanks to Vivien Holmes for this review of my work. It was indeed her co-authored piece that drew my attention to the BTC pipeline case in which my article is based. Jotwell is a very welcome project to challenge an academic culture more based on demolishing other theories than on trying to understand them. Long life!

Comment on The Compliance Professional? An Interesting Puzzle by ‘The Compliance Professional? An Interesting Puzzle’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] James A Fanto, ‘The Professionalization of Compliance: Its Progress, Impediments and Outcomes’ (December 7, 2020), available on SSRN. James A Fanto’s important new work, ‘The Professionalization of Compliance: Its Progress, Impediments and Outcomes’ addresses a concern that I have been thinking about for quite some time: whether it is appropriate to consider people working in the field of compliance to be ‘professionals’. Within compliance circles, the phrase ‘compliance professional’ is used constantly. Yet, as Fanto highlights in his excellent work, it is not at all clear that those engaged within the compliance industry meet the traditional hallmarks one finds associated with professional activities. Fanto’s article addresses this puzzle head-on in an interesting and thoughtful manner … (more) […]
