  • Tired of Partisan Noise? How NJ's High Court Finds Consensus

    Tired of Partisan Noise? How NJ's High Court Finds Consensus
    Oct 31 2024
    At the New Jersey state supreme court, all of the justices seem to get along–even though they maintain a 4-3 partisan split in their ranks. The unique system, based on an unwritten rule that the governor will select justices and maintain a 4-3 balance politically, leads to an extraordinary amount of agreement among the justices. And attorneys like it, too. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, senior correspondent Alex Ebert talks about how the New Jersey Supreme Court maintains its system when so many state supreme courts have become partisan battlegrounds, and how attorneys prepare to argue in this unusual environment.

  • A Professor Says AI Can Help Solve Contract Disputes

    A Professor Says AI Can Help Solve Contract Disputes
    Oct 29 2024
    Fighting over the meaning of contracts is expensive and time-consuming. But a University of Pennsylvania professor sees the potential of generative artificial intelligence to give judges a tool to clarify a contract. Bloomberg Law senior correspondent Roy Strom spoke with professor David Hoffman, an expert on contracts law who co-wrote a paper on what he calls “generative interpretation.” It’s a pretty simple concept: using large language models to determine what a contract really means. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Hoffman discusses how the untested method could save time and money. He talks about what it might take to convince lawyers and clients to let AI solve major contract disputes. And he dives into the impact that could have on the business of large law firms.

  • Life After Chevron Is Starting to Come Into Focus

    Life After Chevron Is Starting to Come Into Focus
    Oct 22 2024
    It's been almost four months since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling decision in Loper Bright that overruled the oft-cited Chevron doctrine. And now we're starting to see what administrative law is going to look like with judges more empowered to pick apart federal agencies' justifications for their actions. However, there could also be another case on the Supreme Court's docket for this term that upends the field of administrative law once again, and this one involves an arcane principle called the nondelegation doctrine. To break all this down, Bloomberg Law reporters Robert Iafolla and Kimberly Strawbridge Robinson join our podcast, On The Merits, and explain the present and future of federal agency power in a post-Chevron world.
