I SO love that UNC's own Fred Eshelman spent mucho money to convince the Wyoming & US Supreme Courts that a hunter stepping from one piece of public land to another at a corner was TRESPASSING because his foot needed to cross a few square inches of the air above Eshelman's ranch land.
He lost.
He lost.

If it's permissible to remind soldiers they must obey lawful orders, it must also be permissible to remind them they may not obey unlawful ones.

In my view, the most significant thing about Bove's dissent—by far—is that it was joined by Judges Hardiman, Bibas, Porter, Matey, and Phipps.
I confess that, for me, that's surprising.

A 🧵 on the AI jury:
This morning I watched several talented law students mock-try a robbery prosecution to a jury of three generative AI bots: ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude. The “jurors" were fed a real-time transcript of the proceedings and then "deliberated" in front of the audience.

At UNC School of Law this morning, three #AI bots are sitting as jurors in a mock trial of a juvenile robbery charge.
Intense criticism came from members of a post-trial panel including a law professor and a philosopher with legal training.

UNC's 2-day conference on #AI later this week includes one (1) (uno) panel on ethics.
Nevermind that the conference site depicts a dystopia.
Of the 4 panelists, one runs an AI-based company advising companies about AI. Another works on preparing humans for extinction.
I'm not making this up.

I have the privilege of leading a group of UNC law students to Heart Mountain in Wyoming over fall break.
We're looking at roles lawyers played in the WWII imprisonment of Japanese Americans.
I can't describe the impact on the students of being where it happened. Huge.
