Presenting “Yikes! The Bluebook’s Generative AI Rule is Flawed" by Professor Jessica R. Gunder of the University of Idaho College of Law. Read more here: southerncalifornialawreview.…
This book review considers the Bluebook’s new generative AI rule, concluding that the Bluebook’s requirements are inappropriate. It focuses upon: (1) errors within Rule 18.3 itself, (2) the unreasonable burden Rule 18.3 imposes;
(3) Rule 18.3’s incompatibility with how generative AI technology is used; and (4) how the requirements imposed by Rule 18.3 violate attorney-client confidentiality requirements and work product protections.
Comments & suggestions highly welcome.
Go into administrative law they said. The doctrine is sleepy they said. You won’t have to spend every summer updating all your course materials they said.
The Fifth Circuit decided this week not to adopt a specific rule governing the use of generative AI: law360.com/appellate/article… -- a decision that aligns with my forthcoming @StanfordTechLR article.
My article contends that R11 is not well-suited for sanctioning the negligent use of AI, however, it cautions against using standing orders to regulate litigant use of this technology.

Constitutional Case Assignment is out @NCLRev! It addresses current judge-shopping & case assignment controversies thru the lens of delegated procedural power. Congress has delegated some authority to SCOTUS & in turn FRCP 83 passed it on to lower cts. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

I contend that Rule 11 is not well-suited for sanctioning this type of misconduct (this conclusion is particularly timely this week: with the court denying sanctions in US v. Cohen!) & its inadequacy is likely spurring the creation of these standing orders.
This article proposes a framework for judges & jurisdictions considering whether to impose their own standing orders, revise current standing orders, or promulgate local rules to regulate litigant use of generative AI technology.
Comments & suggestions highly welcome.
I'm close to finishing an article, and my March rule for this app has been that I have to close it & get back to work when I see a post celebrating an article placement.
Y'all have been busy! So... congrats to everyone, and thank you for keeping me on track!
