Jurist at Pitt has done a nice little site redesign. Nothing major, but there is blog-incorporation. Looks good! Plus, they're linking to me (and maybe some of you!), which makes me all warm and fuzzy.
What I really love about this site is that it's appropriate for all sorts of legal academics and professionals and non-professionals (like me) and just the average joe looking for legal news and opinions.
I've never really explored the site in its entirety -- it's astoundingly huge -- and I always find new things. Like Alex the AI Legal Bot.
My favorite response so far: When Alex the Legal Bot asked "What can I do for you?" I prompted her to "Tickle me"; Alex thought it best to "talk about something else." However, she did ask me where I was. Since it was a late night chat, I replied to her, "In my underwear." She said to me, "I hate underwear. I like to be loose and free."
When I asked her to write my journal article for me, she told me it's "really something an attorney should do."
There you have it, ladies and gents! For expert legal* and life advice, just click over to Alex.
*Good lord. Do not in any way construe this to mean I suggest you use Alex the AI Bot as a replacement attorney. Get a real one. For those of you who have difficulty with "real" in the context of electronic communications, I mean one that is squishy and carbon-based.
Thanks for the pointer to "Jurist" and Alex. Ernie-the-attorney mentioned Alex, too.
Especially got a chuckle out of the front-page about Harvard allowing military recruiters back; seems all it took was waving some money at them! Oh, it isn't phrased quite that baldly, but how else to explain their own statement that they caved when "...our refusal to permit military recruiters access to the [recruiting services] would make the entire University ineligible for appropriations from the Departments of Defense...Education..."
