It’s Election Day! Please vote! It is one of our most precious rights - that’s why I voted. To my friends on the ballot in Texas, Alabama, and elsewhere, thank you for stepping into the arena and I wish you the best!
It’s always an honor when I get to see the fruits of my labors in print. Here is the latest ( 2026-2027) edition of our O’ Connor’s Texas Business & Commerce Code Plus. Hopefully, it will continue to help many TX practitioners! Grateful to my editors and to #FaulknerLaw !
Received this lovely gift recently of Longhorn cufflinks & tieclip from a former student now practicing in Texas, who just won his 1st trial! They were accompanied by a touching letter about how much he appreciated my teaching, especially about AI. #Faulknerlaw
Happy Constitution Day! As someone who has sworn multiple oaths to protect and defend our Constitution, I hope you’ll join me in remembering what the Framers gave us and striving for a more perfect Union!
One of the last of my 2025 law review articles is finally out in the Rutgers L. Rev.! Rutgers is where I was a National Merit Scholar & Phi Beta Kappa grad, but most importantly where I met my wife of 37 years ( a far greater honor). Thanks to @FaulknerLaw for its support!
It’s not quite an early Father’s Day gift, but today I received copies of one of my recent law review articles, which looks at lawyers’ obligations re: their expert witnesses’ use of AI. Thanks to the editors at Nova Law, and to @FaulknerLaw for supporting my scholarship!
I’m honored by the invitation to speak at UT Law CLE’s annual Dawson Conference on Criminal Appeals! It was to speak on AI and appeals, and it was even better to see former students, colleagues & friends, and of course fellow appellate judges from all over Texas!
Did my civic duty today and voted. Regardless of who you’re voting for or what issue you do or don’t support, please make your voice heard and vote!
Mixed emotions at yesterday’s @faulknerlaw graduation. So proud of our students, but I will miss them as well. My spirits were lifted by the arrival of another of my book chapters and a law review article. Now, onto the grading…
I’ve gotten some very nice speaker’s gifts from law schools and symposia over the years. But I’ve never gotten anything quite like this impressive challenge coin from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces! Thanks to Judge Greg Maggs for this honor and for the invitation!
It’s an honor to present today at the school named after my late friend Justice Antonin Scalia. The late Justice and I discussed many things over visits - opera, good legal writing, and Pinot noir. But I don’t know what he would have thought about artificial intelligence!
Proud to give today’s State Bar of Texas webcast on “ Legal Malpractice in the Age of AI” with attorneys Matthew Kolodoski and Claude Ducloux! Important topic, with great folks! Thanks to the State Bar of Texas for the opportunity and hospitality!
Happy to serve on the State Bar of Texas CLE Committee! Here I am at this morning’s meeting with 2 longtime dear friends who also serve with me, Toni Nguyen and Matthew Kolodoski. We’ve been brainstorming ideas for new CLE courses this morning. Thanks, State Bar of Texas!
Some symposia have fascinating topics/speakers, and wonderful hospitality. Today Nova L. Review had all that, and a beautiful cake as well! Thanks again to the hardworking staff of the Nova L. Review for being so welcoming, but the sugar rush will wear off by my return, Faulkner!
Well, that’s a wrap from South Florida, and I have a nice memento from Nova Law Review to take home. Thanks to everyone at Nova Law for their hospitality, thanks to my fellow speakers, and thanks to @FaulknerLaw for always supporting my scholarship!
Another law school symposium is a wrap, and I’m heading home! Thanks to @Nova Law for having me!
Honored to speak today at Nova Southeastern Law at its AI Symposium, on the topic of “ Are You Your Expert’s Keeper: Experts’ Use of Generative AI”. Here I am with Profs. Sawicki and Jacobowitz of Miami Law. Grateful to @FaulknerLaw for supporting my scholarship!
Happy to join our wonderful Faulkner Law Review team of editors for the annual Law Review banquet tonight! It’s a blessing to serve as faculty advisor to these fine young Christian men & women @FaulknerLaw!
Honored to be speaking today about the legal risks and regulatory landscape of AI mental health chatbots at Georgia State L. Review’s annual symposium! Thank you to the terrific student editors who’ll be publishing my article, and to @FaulknerLaw for their support!
