I've heard a lot of people start out as cyber criminals but quit because they just can't hack it.

Kyle Lachmund was just confirmed as the new Delaware Vice Chancellor. The vacancy notice specified that under the political balance rules in the Delaware constitution, "the appointee may not be affiliated with the Democratic party." But here are his political contributions. 🤔

The political balance of the state's courts has been widely credited as a part of Delaware's corporate law success. But it seems that under the settlement, Delaware would never need to appoint another Republican.

I constantly wonder why aspiring entrepreneurs make it so hard on themselves. You’re launching an artisanal cupcake boutique or trying to build the next Google. Meanwhile, people are begging to pay a plumber who answers the phone and actually shows up.
Crumbl built a $1 billion cookie business in six years!
Now its August sales are reportedly down 70% from two years ago. That is a brutal drop. 👀
And the franchisees are in a tough spot.
According to Restaurant Business, the dirty-soda push led to the worst week in company history. Owners are dealing with supply shortages, sales all over the place, and stores closing.
Want to shut yours down? You could owe corporate liquidated damages just to get out.
Meanwhile, corporate is reportedly watching store cameras for Sunday violations including more than one person walking into the bakery.
Your business is struggling and someone at headquarters is reviewing footage to see if two people came in on Sunday. Wild.
This is why I always want to know what happens when a deal goes badly.
Everybody understands the upside when there’s a line around the building. Much less exciting to read 40 pages about what you owe when nobody shows up.
Read those pages anyway!

I have been able to find a lot of articles recently written by law professors that contained large sections copied and pasted from AI. I think this is actually going to be a bit of a scandal.

I agree that probably is the majority view. I'm asking something subtler: Isn't the textual output the important part. For example, is anyone put off by five-law students assisting the professor in writing the article?

Talked about exactly this in the @cyberbulls that is airing right now.
There is not enough scrutiny on the proxy advisors (ISS, Glass Lewis, ...).
And the fact that they oppose TX as a new corporate domicile is just one of the many conflicts they have.
The proxy advisors themselves face a conflict of interest in making recommendations on these moves because they are locked in a battle with Texas. There hasn't been enough scrutiny of ISS and Glass Lewis in this context.

The article here summarizes the recommendations from the proxy advisors and the votes. corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2026…

This is highly unusual. It will be very interesting as more information comes out.

You think they are trying to determine where the applicants are on the right/left extreme perspective?

@ProfRobAnderson WHY AM I LEARNING THIS FROM ANYONE BUT YOU?
When a ship is at risk, it's sometimes necessary to throw some of its cargo overboard to save it.
But who decides whose cargo is thrown?
To avoid counterproductive bickering in times of danger, the ancient Greeks widely adopted a law from Rhodes: "Lex Rhodia de iactu," which states that financial losses for thrown cargo are equally shared among all cargo owners on the ship.
So ,since losses are shared, the owners of heavy, cheap items didn't fight to stop the crew from dumping their property, because they knew they would be compensated by the owners of lightweight luxury goods.
This Rhodian law was later adopted by the Romans and, through transmission, became the basis of modern maritime law regarding jettisoned cargo.

"Get away with it?" The assumption is the human written word is essential and honest, but the generated word is not. Explain.

Nice post on the lex Rhodia. The assimilation into Roman law is interesting: the duty to contribute was interpreted by the jurists as an aspect of good faith in the contract of carriage, entered into by merchants with the ship's business manager (magister navis)...
