Earlier
this
week,

Sean
“Diddy”
Combs,
the
man
behind
many
of
the
greatest
90s
rap
hits,
was

arrested
and
charged
with
three
criminal
counts
in
a
federal
indictment,
accusing
the
music
mogul
of
sex
trafficking,
racketeering,
and
transportation
to
engage
in
prostitution.
The
Bad
Boy
Records
founder
pleaded
not
guilty
during
his
arraignment
hearing
and
was
denied
bail
—
but
not
for
lack
of
effort
from
his
legal
team.

In
a

10-page
letter
to
Judge
Robyn
Tarnofsky
of
the
Southern
District
of
New
York,

Marc
Agnifilo
and

Teny
Geragos
of
Agnifilo
Intrater
proposed
that
Combs
be
released
on
a
$50
million
bond,
claiming
that
the
rap
impresario
is
not
a
flight
risk.
Agnifilo
and
Geragos
go
on
to
detail
Combs’s
history
and
characteristics,
speaking
of
his
philanthropic
efforts
and
the
many
ways
that
he
has
“championed
minorities
and
underrepresented
communities.”
Unfortunately,
this
segment
of
the
attorneys’
plea
to
curry
favor
for
their
client
was
marred
by
an
embarrassing
editing
error.

Hmm…
what’s
that?
It
seems
that
someone
forgot
to
turn
off
track
changes
in
the
document,
leaving
behind
a
little
comment
bubble.
Let’s
take
a
look
and
see
what
it
says.

Yikes!

“This
reads
awkwardly
to
me,
and
I’m
not
quite
sure
what
it’s
going
for.”
Katie
Renzler
represents
Diddy
in
another
case,
but
his
attorneys
in
this
case
apparently
ignored
her
comment
because
can’t
nobody
take
their
pride,
can’t
nobody
hold
them
down,
oh
no,
they’ve
got
to
keep
on
movin’.

Lawyers,
please
let
this
serve
as
a
reminder
to
turn
off
track
changes
before
submitting
documents
that
will
be
widely
read
in
incredibly
high-profile
cases.
This
is
cringeworthy.

Post-divorce
fallouts

negotiations
can
get
ugly,
but
they
should
never
get
“if
you
try

depose
my
new
girlfriend,

ugly.
That’s
just
blackmail.
“Negotiation
tactics”
like
that
are
begging
to
go
in
front
of
a
judge
under
normal
circumstances,
but
nothing
expedites
the
punishment
quite
like
your
former
spouse
being
a
judge.
Yup,
you
read
that
right:

ABA
Journal
has
coverage.

A
Florida
judge
[Marni
Bryson]
has
settled
her
lawsuit
against
a
lawyer

she
sued for
allegedly
trying
to
blackmail
her
with
nude
photos
chronicling
her
pregnancy.

…

According
to
Bryson,
she
was
told
that
her
nude
photos
and
other
damaging
information
would
be
released
if
she
insisted
on
taking
a
deposition
of
the
then-girlfriend.
She
sought
punitive
damages
against
the
defendants.

I
do
not
have
the
words
to
express
how
fundamentally
stupid
it
is
to
even

suggest
blackmailing
a
judge
by
threatening
to
leak
their
nude
pregnancy
photos.
I
do,
however,
have
a
short
video
clip:

While
the
details
of
the
settlement
are
sparse,
the
lesson
to
be
learned
is
clear:
If
you
hire
a
lawyer
who
lacks
common
sense,
you
will
pay
for
it
in
dollars.

If
you
are
a
lawyer
at
a

firm
employing

or

please take
this

brief,
completely
confidential
survey.

The
2023
survey
collected
information
from
more
than
1,000
attorneys,
and
we
hope
to
top
that
number
this
year.

Compensation
Report

detailed
information
about
attorney
pay.
With
breakdowns
by

and

the
report
is
an
invaluable
benchmarking
resource
for

working
in
small
practices.
And
we
need
your
help
to
put
it
together!

As
always,
the
survey
is
both
short
and
anonymous.

I
have
had
a
number
of
in-person
court
appearances
in
the
last
few
months,
and
the
experience
has
shown
me
that
lawyers
may
treat
in-person
appearances
a
little
differently
than
they
did
before
the
pandemic.
Earlier
this
week,
I
wrote
about
how

some
lawyers
seem
to
appear
in
court
in
less
formal
attire,
possibly
due
to
the
return
to
in-person
appearances
following
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
I
have
also
seen
a
number
of
lawyers
bringing
kids
to
court
in
recent
months,
which
may
be
due
to
childcare
issues
or
the
fact
that
kids
were
out
of
school
for
the
summer.
At
a
recent
court
appearance,
I
saw
a
lawyer
bring
three
kids
to
court!
I
was
impressed
with
how
this
lawyer
was
both
able
to
handle
his
children
as
well
as
the
legal
task
at
hand.
In
most
circumstances,
bringing
kids
to
court
is
entirely
appropriate,
and
in
some
situations,
this
might
actually
be
an
advantage
to
the
lawyer.

The
first
time
I
ever
saw
a
lawyer
bring
a
kid
to
court
was
about
a
decade
ago
when
I
was
arguing
an
appeal
in
front
of
a
state
intermediate
appellate
court.
The
gallery
of
the
courtroom
was
full
of
numerous
lawyers,
and
possibly
some
clients,
who
were
all
in
formal
attire.
In
the
back,
a
father
who
was
wearing
a
suit
sat
next
to
a
kid
who
was
probably
seven
or
eight
years
old
who
everyone
presumed
was
his
child.

When
it
was
time
for
this
lawyer
to
argue
his
appeal,
the
lawyer
told
the
child
to
stay
in
his
seat
and
then
he
approached
the
lecture
to
make
his
arguments.
I
think
the
appellate
judges
were
touched
by
the
fact
that
the
father
brought
his
child
to
court
that
day.
One
of
the
appellate
judges
remarked
something
like
“it
looks
like
you
have
a
legal
assistant
with
you”
or
something
to
that
effect
to
playfully
point
out
that
the
lawyer
was
accompanied
by
his
child.
From
the
smiles
I
could
see
on
the
faces
of
the
appellate
judges,
it
seemed
that
bringing
a
kid
to
court
did
not
hurt
this
lawyer,
and
might
have
actually
helped
humanize
the
lawyer
in
front
of
the
appellate
judges.

As
previously
mentioned,
I
saw
a
lawyer
bring
three
of
his
kids
to
court
several
weeks
ago,
and
this
was
an
interesting
sight
to
see.
The
kids
followed
the
lawyer
around
as
he
worked
on
various
matters
for
which
the
lawyer
appeared
in
court.
Everyone
was
talking
about
the
kids
and
the
attorney
who
had
brought
the
kids
to
court.
However,
I
did
not
hear
a
negative
comment
about
the
fact
that
this
lawyer
brought
his
kids
to
court.
On
the
contrary,
most
of
the
comments
were
about
how
cute
and
well-behaved
the
kids
were
and
how
it
was
cool
that
this
lawyer
showed
his
kids
what
his
work
was
like.
I
am
not
sure
whether
having
children
helped
the
lawyer
advance
his
client’s
interests,
but
it
definitely
added
some
levity
to
the
drudgery
many
people
experience
in
court.

Granted,
I
am
the
type
of
person
who
likes
it
when
people
bring
their
kids
with
them
to
various
events.
When
I
was
in
law
school,
I
took
a
family
law
class
with
a
student
who
brought
her
infant
child
to
class
with
her.
There
were
only
around
thirty
or
so
people
in
the
class,
so
it
was
pretty
noticeable
when
the
child
acted
up,
but
for
the
most
part,
it
was
really
enriching
to
have
the
child
there.
Of
course,
not
everyone
is
comfortable
around
children,
and
some
people
do
not
understand
childcare
and
other
issues
that
surround
having
kids.
Indeed,
I
remember
one
story
about

a
judge
who
scolded
a
lawyer
for
bringing
an
infant
to
court
even
though
the
judge
refused
to
adjourn
a
matter
because
the
lawyer
had
recently
given
birth.
In
addition,
male
and
female
attorneys
are
likely
to
be
perceived
differently
if
they
bring
children
to
court
because
of
unfair
ways
people
unfairly
perceive
women
differently
from
men
if
they
mix
work
with
their
personal
life.
Moreover,
some
courts
have
rules
prohibiting
children
from
appearing
in
court
due
to
the
disturbance
this
may
cause,
and
this
is
usually
reasonable
if
members
of
the
public
are
not
expected
to
appear
in
court.

In
any
case,
people
should
be
more
understanding
of
lawyers
who
need
to
bring
children
to
court
for
childcare
or
other
reasons.
Courts
are
generally
very
open
to
members
of
the
public
bringing
children
to
court,
and
this
should
extend
to
lawyers.
In
the
post-COVID
era
when
in-person
court
appearances
are
rarer,
and
hybrid
work
arrangements
make
consistent
childcare
more
impractical,
judges
should
be
more
flexible
to
lawyers
who
bring
children
to
courts.
Kids
usually
do
not
cause
a
disturbance
in
court,
and
they
can
add
an
enriching
and
humanizing
element
to
court
proceedings
that
is
typically
absent
in
the
legal
industry.

Topics

As
many
attorneys
intrinsically
understand,
there
is
an
unwritten
dress
code
that
most
lawyers
adhere
to
when
they
appear
in
court.
Although
I
am
unclear
about
the
dress
code
for
women,
most
lawyers
would
agree
that
men
should
wear
suits,
ties,
and
dress
shoes
when
they
appear
in
court.
Although
American
lawyers
do
not
wear
wigs
or
other
similar
accoutrements
of
the
legal
profession
to
court,
dressing
more
formally
to
court
makes
it
easier
for
court
staff
to
identify
lawyers
and
allows
attorneys
to
convey
their
respect
for
the
judicial
process.
Since
the
return
to
in-person
appearances
after
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
it
seems
like
an
increasing
number
of
lawyers
appear
in
court
in
apparel
that
does
not
abide
by
this
understood
dress
code.

Over
the
past
several
years,
I
have
seen
many
men
appear
in
court
in
suits
without
ties.
While
ties
can
sometimes
be
annoying,
putting
one
on
is
relatively
easy,
so
I
am
not
sure
why
so
many
attorneys
forgo
wearing
ties
to
court.
One
of
the
things
that
typically
distinguishes
business
formal
and
business
casual
attire
is
a
tie,
so
it
seems
like
it
would
be
a
no-brainer
that
male
attorneys
would
wear
a
tie
to
court.

Sure,
there
have
been
occasions
when
I
appeared
in
court
without
wearing
a
tie
or
even
without
wearing
a
suit
jacket.
If
I
was
just
dropping
off
papers
to
a
clerk’s
office
or
a
papers
submissions
part,
it
is
possible
that
I
would
not
wear
a
tie.
Sometimes,
you
might
get
treated
better
if
you
do
not
look
too
much
like
an
attorney.
However,
one
time
when
I
appeared
in
court
in
less
formal
attire,
I
had
to
see
a
judge
to
get
a
stipulation
“so
ordered”
that
I
thought
I
would
just
be
submitting,
so
lawyers
should
be
wary
since
they
may
end
up
seeing
a
judge
after
all
in
more
casual
attire.
Nevertheless,
if
male
lawyers
know
that
they
will
appear
in
front
of
judges,
it
usually
makes
sense
to
put
on
a
tie
since
this
signifies
the
solemnity
of
the
occasion.

Recently,
I
have
also
seen
lawyers
wear
sneakers
to
court
instead
of
dress
shoes.
Usually,
these
sneakers
look
professional
—
black,
brown,
or
some
other
muted
color.
However,
it
is
clear
that
the
footwear
worn
by
these
lawyers
are
not
the
typical
dress
shoes
that
usually
accompany
suits.

I
completely
understand
why
lawyers
would
want
to
wear
sneakers
instead
of
shoes.
Sometimes,
lawyers
need
to
walk
long
distances
to
travel
to
court
with
public
transportation,
and
it
is
more
comfortable
for
such
lawyers
to
wear
sneakers
in
such
instances
rather
than
shoes.
Other
times,
lawyers
have
a
medical
reason,
and
I
once
wore
sneakers
to
court
after
I
injured
my
foot.
However,
it
is
usually
easy
and
affordable
to
pick
up
a
decent
pair
of
dress
shoes,
so
sneakers
might
be
inappropriate
in
most
circumstances.

From
my
experience,
the
type
of
case
and
the
type
of
court
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
clothes
worn
by
a
lawyer
to
court.
I
have
appeared
in
a
number
of
compliance
parts
recently
in
which
dozens,
if
not
hundreds,
of
lawyers
discuss
discovery
disputes
in
front
of
court
staff,
and
lawyers
dress
down
likely
due
to
the
low
likelihood
of
speaking
to
a
judge.
I
have
also
appeared
in
landlord-tenant
courts
frequently
in
the
past
year
or
two,
and
it
seems
that
lawyers
in
such
cases
also
dress
down
on
occasion.
However,
I
have
never
seen
a
lawyer
dress
down
at
appearances
in
any
of
the
federal
cases
I
work
on,
likely
because
federal
courthouses
are
often
much
nicer
than
state
courthouses,
and
the
seriousness
of
the
cases
has
an
impact
on
the
apparel
decisions
of
attorneys.

I
am
not
judging
people
who
might
not
be
able
to
adhere
to
informal
dress
codes
due
to
economic
limitations
or
mistakes,
and
of
course,
people
can
adhere
to
any
dress
code
that
comports
with
their
gender
identity.
It
just
seems
to
me
that
many
lawyers
have
loosened
up
their
dress
code
when
they
appear
in
court
now
that
the
COVID-19
pandemic
has
passed,
and
I’d
love
to
hear
from
readers
of
this
column
who
witnessed
lawyers
dressing
down
in
court.
Ultimately,
if
there
are
no
issues
preventing
a
lawyer
from
dressing
formally
to
court,
this
is
usually
the
best
approach,
since
this
helps
court
staff
identify
lawyers,
and
dressing
formally
shows
the
respect
and
solemnity
attorneys
have
for
the
judicial
process.

We
first
detailed
her
star
turn
on
the
show

back
in
June,
and
we’re
happy
to
report
that
Lafalaise
is
such
a
talented
chef
that
she’s
made
it
all
the
way
to
the
finale.

I
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
chatting
with
Lafalaise
before
the
finale
airs,
to
get
her
thoughts
on
her
reality
TV
journey.
Here
is
a
write-up
of
our
lively
conversation.

Staci
Zaretsky
(SZ):
What
does
it
feel
like
to
have
made
it
so
far
in
the
competition?

Kamay
Lafalaise
(KL):
To
have
made
it
to
the
MasterChef:
Generations
finale
as
one
of
the
top
3
home
cooks
in
the
country
feels
timely
and
incredibly
meaningful.
I
applied
to
be
on
the
show
with
the
goals
of
sharing
my
family’s
legacy
and
encouraging
people
to
embrace
different
sides
of
themselves.
We
are
all
multidimensional
and
nuanced,
but
sometimes
we
forget
that
we
are
more
than
our
job
titles.
This
is
particularly
the
case
with
attorneys,
given
the
time
commitment,
stress,
and
challenges
we
face
on
a
regular
basis
at
work.
Making
it
to
the
finale
feels
timely
because
I
am
a
first-generation
Haitian-American
and
the
harmful
false
narratives
currently
being
perpetuated
about
Haitian
immigrants
is
disheartening,
to
say
the
least.
As
a
child
of
immigrants,
I
am
proud
to
represent
grit
and
dedication
—
both
pillars
of
the
American
dream
—
in
one
of
the
biggest
culinary
competitions
in
the
world.

SZ:
How
do
your
deadlines
in
the
MasterChef
kitchen
stack
up
against
your
deadlines
as
a
lawyer?

KL:
Every
lawyer
understands
the
pressure
that
comes
with
meeting
deadlines,
and
my
experience
as
an
attorney
helped
me
develop
time
management
skills
that
absolutely
helped
me
in
the
MasterChef
kitchen.
The
time
constraints
are
real,
and
the
clock
waits
for
no
one!

In
the
semi-final
round,
the
skills
I’ve
honed
as
an
attorney
were
essential
to
my
success.
Following
Gordon
Ramsay
as
he
cooked
a
complex,
multi-part
dish
in
real
time
is
one
of
the
hardest
challenges
I’ve
ever
faced
in
the
kitchen.
I
was
able
to
leverage
my
ability
to
quickly
take
in,
analyze,
and
remember
multiple
steps
to
keep
on
track
even
when
I
was
a
few
seconds
behind
Chef
Ramsay.

SZ:
Would
you
encourage
other
lawyers
who
may
be
hesitant
to
do
so
to
get
involved
in
a
reality
competition
show?

KL:
This
question
demands
the
ultimate
lawyer
response:
“It
depends!”
I
can
understand
why
many
people
would
not
be
inclined
to
compete
on
a
reality
TV
show
—
it
is
extraordinarily
difficult,
you
cannot
control
how
you
are
portrayed
after
editing
cuts
are
made,
and
doing
well
in
a
skills
competition
show
requires
months
of
serious
preparation
and
time.
With
that
said,
I
had
reasons
far
greater
than
myself
for
applying
to
MasterChef,
which
you
can
learn
more
about
on
my
recent

podcast
interview
with
LawHer.
So,
if
you
are
an
attorney
considering
getting
involved
with
a
reality
competition
show,
I’d
encourage
you
to
take
the
leap,
but
make
sure
you
are
prepared
to
handle
the
heat.

We
wish
Kamay
Lafalaise
the
very
best
of
luck
and
hope
that
the
final
verdict
on
the
show
comes
out
in
her
favor.
You
can
catch
her
on
the
season
finale
of
MasterChef:
Generations
tonight
at
8
p.m.
ET
on
FOX.
The
season
is
also
available
to
stream
on
Hulu.

Three-quarters
of
the
nation’s
healthcare
providers
and
payers
say
they
have
increased
their
IT
spending
over
the
past
year,
according
to
a
report
released
Tuesday
by

Bain
&
Company
and

KLAS
Research.

The
report
predicted
that
this
trend
will
only
continue.
It
was
based
on
a
survey
of
150
providers
and
payers
across
the
U.S.

“Payers
and
providers
are
continuing
to
place
a
premium
on
technology,
a
sentiment
that
has
become
increasingly
true
in
the
aftermath
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic,”
Eric
Berger,
partner
in
Bain’s
healthcare
&
life
sciences
and
private
equity
practice,
said
in
a

statement.
“While
the
focus
on
ROI
has
increased,
we’re
also
finding
these
organizations
are
more
inclined
to
experiment
with
technology,
especially
with
advanced
solutions,
such
as
AI
and
natural
language
processing,
to
improve
outcomes.”

The
cyberattack
Change
Healthcare
suffered
in
February
has
influenced
both
providers
and
payers
to
ramp
up
their
investment
for
cybersecurity
technology,
the
report
stated.
Roughly
70%
of
organizations
included
in
the
report
said
they
were
directly
affected
by
the
event.

Organizations
are
spending
more
time
and
money
on
things
like
auditing
internal
systems,
deploying
endpoint
protection
solutions
and
scaling
security
awareness
training
programs.
Change
Healthcare’s
cyberattack
has
also
led
to
a
greater
focus
on
reviewing
single
points
of
vulnerability,
with
leaders
allocating
some
of
their
budgets
toward
improving
redundancy
around
critical
systems
in
the
IT
stack,
according
to
the
report.

When
it
comes
to
AI,
providers
are
increasing
their
spending.
About
15%
of
providers
said
they
have
an
AI
strategy,
up
from
the
5%
of
providers
that
reported
the
same
last
year,
the
report
showed.
Payers’
AI
investments
have
remained
mostly
the
same
as
last
year,
with
about
a
quarter
reporting
they
have
an
established
AI
strategy.

Much
of
providers’
AI
adoption
has
centered
around
clinical
workflow
optimization.
For
example,
they
are
deploying
tools
that
reduce
administrative
burden,
such
as
those
that
generate
clinical
note
drafts,
and
tools
that
improve
revenue
cycle
management,
such
as
those
that
automate
prior
authorization.

As
for
payers,
the
report
showed
that
care
coordination
and
utilization
management
tools
are
gaining
traction.
These
tools
allow
payers
to
determine
which
members
are
high-risk,
connect
care
episodes
across
providers
and
settings,
and
ensure
that
care
is
cost-effective.

Payers
are
also
investing
more
in
tools
that
improve
the
claims
processing
and
payment
process,
as
well
as
tools
focused
on
quality
management
and
risk
adjustment,
according
to
the
report. 

The
majority
of
payers
said
they
are
focusing
on
streamlining
their
tech
stacks
and
prioritizing
existing
vendors
rather
than
introducing
new
vendors
to
their
ecosystem,
the
report
noted.

Quote
of
the
Day.

Elizabeth
makes
what
she
does
look
pretty
easy
because
she
doesn’t
melt
down.
But
she
is
juggling
a
load
that
would
cause
most
people
to
melt
down.
I
think
for
her
to
maintain
her
life
and
her
family
and
do
her
job
taxes
even
her
superhuman
level
of
stamina
sometimes.
What
people
ought
to
know
is
just
how
much
she
shoulders
by
herself.
It’s
kind
of
crazy.
