Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer congressional questions while suggesting she might testify if granted clemency, raising conflict concerns because the clemency decision involves the person implicated. Research finds AI has affected junior lawyer judgment, indicating changes in legal decision-making among less experienced attorneys. Axiom closed its Arizona law firm, reflecting firm-level operational changes. A jury was told social media companies built an "addiction machine," signaling intensified litigation over platform design and harms. A gap within the Am Law 50 is noted as growing. A California ban on masked ICE agents was struck down, though a judge said expansion to all law enforcement might make it stand. A judge sharply rebuked a lawyer for an AI‑generated, hallucination-based defense.
