Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Consumer Financial Services Litigation Series - Episode 1: Pro Se Plaintiffs
Q: Does AI use change lawyers' professional responsibilities?
No. Lawyers remain responsible for verifying the accuracy of AI-generated law and facts, exercising judgment, and investigating what they submit to a court.
The Supreme Court Opinions in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook: What Do They Mean for the Future of the Administrative State?
Q: Are there other agencies out there now that are vulnerable after Slaughter?
Menand says the NLRB and Merit Systems Protection Board face significant vulnerability, while the FDIC may have a colorable argument for an exception similar to the one recognized for the Federal Reserve.
Consumer Financial Services Litigation Series - Episode 1: Pro Se Plaintiffs
Q: Are AI-generated complaints making pro se cases more difficult to dismiss?
AI can produce longer complaints with timelines, organized records, and more apparent legal arguments, but errors, irrelevant material, and unsupported citations can still give defendants grounds to challenge claims or seek early dismissal.
The Supreme Court Opinions in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook: What Do They Mean for the Future of the Administrative State?
Q: Where do you rank Trump v. Slaughter among the Supreme Court's separation of powers decisions?
Menand considers it potentially more consequential than Myers, describing it as a major deformation of the constitutional structure and comparing its significance to Marbury v. Madison.
SpaceX's Novel Shareholder Dispute-Resolution Bylaws Could Have Far-Reaching Implications
Q: Why is this bylaw provision more than just an arbitration clause?
Because Article 10 creates a staged approach: initial exclusive jurisdiction in the Texas Business Court, a potential switch to ICC arbitration if jurisdiction is lacking, and a comprehensive, multi-faceted framework that also enforces a broad class-action waiver in both tracks.
