Morning Docket: 02.16.23

* Supreme Court considering whether or not to blame Google for terrorism, which seems like a stretch because even if someone searched for terrorism, they'd have to wade through 35 ads for unrelated garbage before getting anything relevant. [Vox] * Allen & Overy becomes first firm to go all in on ChatGPT style tech announcing that it's working with Harvey. [Legal Futures] * NBA great George Gervin sues Ralph Lauren for releasing a retro-styled shoe called the "Gervin Mid." So... apparently Ralph Lauren thought George Gervin was dead. [Law360] * New York Governor Kathy Hochul fought hard for her right to be publicly humiliated, and officially succeeded as the NY Senate that attempted to offer her basic political dignity caved and officially rejected Hector LaSalle nomination to serve as chief judge. Crackerjack politicking! [Politico] * Litigation financing spent $3.2B last year. It would be nice if justice didn't need speculators to function, but if this is the system we're sticking with, it's nice that they're there. [Reuters] * Kari Lake's lawyers get slapped with bar complaints because... obviously. [NBC]
