If you’ve been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in New Jersey, one of the first questions you’re likely to ask is: “Will I lose my license?” The short answer is yes—but the details depend on several factors, including your blood alcohol content (BAC), prior convictions, and how your case is handled in court. In New Jersey, license suspension for a DWI is a serious consequence, and the penalties become harsher with each offense. That’s why working with an experienced legal team can make a major difference. First-Time DWI Offense in New Jersey For drivers with a BAC of 0.08% to 0.099%, the license suspension is not automatic. Instead, the court may require you to install an ignition interlock device (IID) for a set period, both during and after a mandatory license suspension. If your BAC is 0.10% or higher, or if you were under the influence of drugs, the consequences become more severe. A first-time offender can expect: Fines and…

Generative AI tools can summarize court decisions, draft legal memos, and even engage in natural-sounding conversation. It’s tempting to imagine a future where much of a lawyer’s client-facing work is handled by machines. Intake forms become chatbots. Follow-up emails are automated. The tone sounds just right. It’s efficient, scalable, and consistent. But is it wise? While automation has its place, especially in back-office and document-heavy tasks, the essence of client service lies in what AI lacks: empathy, judgment, trust-building, and accountability. Lawyers who fully outsource client service interactions to generative AI risk eroding the very relationships that define their value. Client Service Is Not a Commodity True client service isn’t just about fast answers or 24/7 availability. It’s about how clients feel about their case, their lawyer, and the legal process itself. It’s bedside manners. It’s emotional quotient. It’s…

Editor’s Note: This article explores how Generative AI is redefining the boundaries of authorship, responsibility, and liability in legal practice. Drawing from the European Commission’s Generative AI Outlook Report – Exploring the Intersection of Technology, Society and Policy (JRC142598), it examines the legal and ethical questions emerging as AI tools increasingly generate content that influences decisions in litigation, compliance, and client representation. From the courtroom to the back-office platform, GenAI introduces profound uncertainty around who—or what—is accountable when automated systems produce faulty or misleading legal outputs. For legal professionals navigating this new terrain, the article provides essential context on emerging risks and regulatory expectations. Whether you’re a managing partner considering AI integration, or a technologist building tools for legal service delivery, this piece offers a timely lens on the…

Daniel B. Rice has posted “The Moral Complacency of Federal Indian Law,” forthcoming from the Minnesota Law Review, on SSRN. Here is the abstract: For all its association with historical tragedy, federal Indian law remains thoroughly amoral. The field draws little distinction between horrific and laudable traditions. In sharp contrast with the Court’s equality doctrines, Indian law continues to rest on explicit structural subordination. Its core precepts tolerate the worst forms of historical treachery and cultural annihilation, treating such practices as legally generative in the present. This Article identifies Indian law’s moral vacuity as an unexplained and unjustified aberration. It urges the Court to speak and theorize about Indian law in a register befitting the subject’s moral gravity. The Article offers a trio of explanations for Indian law’s enduring amorality—ones focused on reliance interests, strategic suppression…

For the Balkinization symposium in honor of Ken Kersch Dennis J. Wieboldt III I first met Ken Kersch in the fall of 2019 as an undergraduate student at Boston College. The summer before my matriculation, I came across a university social media post about Kersch’s Conservatives and the Constitution and thought that it might be a worthwhile read. For one, it seemed prudent to read something by a professor at the institution I would soon call home. And, as an added benefit, reading a book about “conservatives” seemed likely to be personally instructive for my thinking about American law and politics—both because of my quasi-libertarian ideological leanings and the experience of watching my high school peers react with uniform hostility to then-candidate (and later president) Donald Trump. In short, reading a book about “conservatives” and “the Constitution” appeared well-poised to teach me something about myself and those…

By Emily Ko In Jeff Koons’s Made in Heaven series, the artist and his first wife, Ilona Staller, better known by her stage name Cicciolina, embrace in sexually explicit poses. Koons, with a parodic spirit, is confrontational in his literal presentation of decadent (yet simultaneously “natural” in its conspicuous reference to Adam and Eve) sexuality. Three works in this series, created between 1989 and 1990, were at issue in Hayden v. Koons: the billboard Made in Heaven (1989), the sculpture Jeff and Ilona (Made in Heaven) (1990), and the oil inks on canvas Jeff in the Position of Adam (1990). Before Discovery (Hayden I) Facts of the Case The billboard Made in Heaven (1989) and the sculpture Jeff and Ilona (Made in Heaven) (1990) were originally made and first put on display in 1989 and 1990 respectively.[1]Jeff in the Position of Adam (1990) was sold to a private collector.[2] Fast forward to March 2020, where counsel for set and prop designer Michael Hayden…

For decades, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) has functioned as a bedrock of U.S. governance. Across presidential administrations, it has shaped how federal agencies promulgate, revise, and rescind regulations, and it has provided a consistent framework to promote public participation and enhance legal accountability. Recent and proposed efforts by the Trump administration to expedite or circumvent the APA’s requirements are unlikely to survive legal scrutiny. The Trump administration has made clear its longstanding disdain for the administrative state—and for established principles of administrative law. Over the last several months, the administration has sought to shrink the federal government by slashing the federal workforce and by dismantling entire agencies. Those efforts have repeatedly run aground in the courts before judges appointed by presidents of both parties (including by President Trump himself). Now, the administration appears to be pursuing a…
