So, the California Supreme Court justices are a bit worried about the state bar using AI to come up with test questions. They’re waiting for investigations to wrap up before making any decisions.
The bar exam in February 2025 was a mess, to say the least. It was so bad that the Supreme Court had to lower the passing score and tell the state bar to go back to using the Multistate Bar Exam from the National Conference of Bar Examiners for the July test.
Originally, the results were supposed to be out at 6 p.m. on Friday, but now applicants have to wait until Monday at noon to see how they did. The pass list will be made public on Tuesday.
Seems like there’s a lot of drama in the legal world lately. Trump’s administration got shut down from enforcing some executive order by Perkins Coie. And there’s a law firm out there using a dragon logo in their filings – like, seriously?
Some attorney and their law firm are in hot water for defamation in WWE litigation. I mean, wrestling drama is one thing, but defamation lawsuits? Yikes.
But hey, some law firms are just doing their thing, like Baker Donelson promoting 16 people. And a white-collar partner from Alston & Bird is moving in-house. Good for them.
Who’s working on what, you ask? Well, J. Brugh Lower from Gibbons is representing Devco Corporation in a trademark infringement case. They’re being accused of selling knock-off Graco products. Drama, drama, drama.
Rebecca Maller-Stein and Kent A. Yalowitz from Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer are in a securities lawsuit representing Hanaco Venture Capital and its executives. Someone’s not happy about how their investment was handled.
A whole team from A&O Shearman is defending Toronto-Dominion Bank and others in a securities class action. Looks like they’re being accused of hiding some compliance issues.
Crown Castle International is being taken to court for breach of contract, and they’ve got Luke D. Wolf from Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani on their side. Someone’s not happy about some utility payments.
And last but not least, Electrolux Home Products Inc. is facing a product liability lawsuit, with Wilfred P. Coronato and Daniel M. Schwartz from McCarter & English defending them. Seems like their refrigerators aren’t holding up too well.
So, the legal world is buzzing with drama and lawsuits left and right. Who’s gonna come out on top? Only time will tell.
