THE TRUTH ABOUT JANUARY 6, 2021

FROM JUDGE ROYCE LAMBERTH: 

The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong. But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream. I have been dismayed to see distortions and outright falsehoods seep into the public consciousness. I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved “in an orderly fashion” like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as “political prisoners” or even, incredibly, “hostages.” That is all preposterous. But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country.

So let me set the record straight, based on what I’ve learned presiding over many January 6 prosecutions, hearing from dozens of witnesses, watching hundreds of hours of video footage, and reading thousands of pages of evidence. On January 6, 2021, a mob of people invaded and occupied the United States Capitol, using force to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power mandated by the Constitution and our republican heritage. This was not a protest that got out of hand. It was a riot; in many respects a coordinated riot, as is clear from cases before me including Hostetter (21-cr-392) and Worrell (21-cr-292). “Protestors” would have simply shared their views on the election—as did thousands that day who did not approach the Capitol. But those who breached and occupied the Capitol building and grounds halted the counting of the Electoral College votes required by the Twelfth Amendment. The rioters interfered with a necessary step in the constitutional process, disrupted the lawful transfer of power, and thus jeopardized the American constitutional order. Although the rioters failed in their ultimate goal, their actions nonetheless resulted in the deaths of multiple people, injury to over 140 members of law enforcement, and lasting trauma for our entire nation. This was not patriotism; it was the antithesis of patriotism.

AI LEVELS THE LEGAL SERVICES PLAYING FIELD

 

This serves as a wake-up call for prospective clients of large law firms. The advent of AI is poised to bring about a transformative shift in how prominent firms expand and price their services. Their growth trajectory will face constraints as discerning clients exert influence, urging these firms to reevaluate and potentially reduce their billing practices. Allow me to elucidate.

To provide context, I have a background as a partner in a mid-sized DC law firm and served as the managing partner of a firm for a decade. Subsequently, I was a managing partner for 27 years in an 80-lawyer firm before transitioning to a solo practice over the past 12 years.

Navigating the landscape of private law firm practice in DC, we grappled with the imperative to expand, annually increase rates, and allocate traditional overhead expenses directly to clients. As a rainmaker, I was responsible for ensuring junior lawyers billed increasingly more time.

The introduction of AI promises to revolutionize legal practices for all lawyers, particularly those in larger firms. I find great enthusiasm in exploring AI through courses and product sampling. AI is poised to replace the laborious and monotonous task of reviewing vast document sets. An experienced professional like myself can guide AI in identifying, tagging, organizing, analyzing implications, suggesting usage, and presenting information in a memo or brief—all within seconds, as opposed to prolonged hours. This can be achieved at a reasonable monthly charge without the escalation of salaries, perks, benefits, and other conventional expenses associated with large firms. It allows for the elimination of high-cost elements such as summer programs and the selection of future leaders without the burden of hiring law school graduates.

This shift is causing sleepless nights for managing partners of large firms. The pressing question is whether a solo practitioner, equipped with AI expertise derived from extensive experience, can compete with major firms at a fraction of the cost. The answer is affirmative. We are entering a new era, and you, the client, stand to benefit significantly. Engaging an adept lawyer with a profound understanding of AI is now more incentivized. In the event of trial support requirements, hiring 1099 consulting attorneys and paralegals becomes a viable option.

In essence, the legal landscape is undergoing a revolution for your enduring advantage, prospective client.

USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WISELY

We propose that the proper use of artificial intelligence in legal services is by the wise hands of seasoned practitioners. Garbage in, garbage out. The person best suited to instruct AI is an experienced lawyer. The best person to review, correct, change, and use AI effectively is also the same lawyer. This is how we intend to utilize AI.

As a lawyer working on government contracts, I find that Artificial Intelligence is crucial in streamlining my work process. AI is particularly helpful in managing the vast amount of paperwork I receive from clients and in legal discovery. With its assistance, I can quickly identify, locate, organize, summarize, review, and prepare a memorandum on the contents of the documents. This allows me to advise my clients on the importance of the information contained within them.

AI-powered legal research tools enable me to summarize critical elements of cases and decisions, such as fact patterns, legal conclusions, and court rulings. These tools let me quickly search large databases and gather relevant data, precedents, laws, regulations, statutes, and case law for specific jurisdictions.

AI assistance helps me and other counsel determine the potential value of a case and predict the outcome of a particular matter. Predictive coding can also analyze relevant data and information and help identify potential risks in existing or threatened litigation. This can lead to more informed decisions and better risk assessments for counsel and clients.

AI-based document management software can enable me to store and organize legal files, including case files, contracts, electronic communications, etc. AI-based organizations can facilitate and expedite locating, maintaining, and safeguarding critical documents and information.

Experienced lawyers can improve upon the AI product, check it for accuracy, make judgments, and do the critical thinking and strategizing the AI cannot. The lawyer instructed by having handled a similar case before can create the most intelligent and ethical use of AI. 

 

ERRORS, CONFLICTS, AND OMISSIONS

In Spearin v. United States, 248 U.S. 132 (1918), the Supreme Court established the doctrine that the government has the implied duty to provide descriptions of what it is buying free from defects, including errors, conflicts, omissions, and inconsistencies with other contract requirements. The government warrants that its work specifications if followed, will provide a satisfactory and safe result. Defects in the statements of work were a breach of contract. For reasons we have discussed, the boards of contract appeals did not have jurisdiction over breach of contract actions until 1978. Hence, the breach became a constructive change under the Changes clause and labeled defective specification.

For the most part, the government cannot avoid the warranty by exculpatory clauses unless they reasonably shift the risk to the contractor to discover patent problems. The warranty attaches to all types of statements of work but to a lesser degree as performance details are left to the contractor. The warranty also applies when the government approves and adopts the statement of work, and the government remains liable even when it obtains specifications from a third-party contractor.

Nearly all contract disputes involve contract document interpretations of alleged errors, conflicts, omissions, and inconsistencies to some degree. Most of these disputes can be avoided by careful contract administration. The government bears the responsibility initially to write an error-free document. The government now has an artificial intelligence tool that should greatly assist in writing, reviewing, and correcting its contract document problems before issuing its solicitations. Likewise, the contractor has a duty before bidding to raise, with the help of AI, any issues they see.

The most important aspect of contract management is the preparation and review of the contract documents. Government contracts are contracts of adhesion, meaning the government dictates the terms and conditions. It is incumbent on the government to do a better job of preparing its contract documents. However, contractors also need to pay more attention to contract interpretation rules and raise issues before bidding.

Both parties now have excellent tools to help with their respective duties. The importance of using artificial intelligence should be a hot topic of discussion in all venues, forums, and mediums.

SURVIVING 2024

This year portends a unique intersection of politics and business, with two critical factors poised to exert substantial influence. Examining the evangelical political movement led by Donald Trump and the looming threat of violence, alongside the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on wealth distribution, sheds light on the challenges and opportunities for businesses in this complex landscape.

Evangelical Political Movement led by Donald Trump: In the political arena, the evangelical movement spearheaded by Donald Trump is a formidable force. This movement, characterized by its influence on policy and the fervent support it gathers, introduces the potential for a shift toward theocracy. The collapse of democratic norms becomes a concern, presenting businesses with the challenge of dealing with a change to an autocratic government. Strategies for adaptation and resilience are crucial for enterprises facing potential shifts in policy and societal upheaval.

Threat of Violence and Democratic Stability: Beyond the ballot box, the specter of violence looms as a potential consequence if Donald Trump is not elected. The implications for democratic stability are profound, and businesses must prepare for scenarios of political unrest. Robust risk management strategies and proactive engagement with local communities become imperative to ensure business continuity in the face of societal upheavals.

Artificial Intelligence and Wealth Inequality: A dual narrative emerges as businesses embrace artificial intelligence. While AI promises efficiency and innovation, it also poses a risk to the equitable distribution of wealth. The potential for job displacement and an exacerbation of income inequality necessitates careful consideration. Policies addressing the responsible deployment of AI and proactive measures within businesses to mitigate the impact on workers can contribute to a more balanced and sustainable future.

Conclusion: The intricate dance between politics and business in 2024 demands a rational approach. Navigating the evangelical political movement's influence, preparing for potential violence, and addressing the implications of AI on wealth distribution is integral to a resilient business strategy. Politicians may be able to lead us through dangerous waters. Or not.

OUR LAW FIRM HISTORY

Gilbert A. Cuneo died on April 12, 1978, while I was filling in for him as a speaker at the NCMA meeting dinner in Philadelphia. John Connor gave me the news when I returned to my room. Gil was the father of the government contract practice specialty. He had been Chairman of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals and resigned to enter private practice.

Gil approached his friend Hank Keiser of Federal Publications about sharing office space or finding space on K Street. He also visited with Ashley Sellers about space. Ashley liked Gil, and he and John Conner soon formed Sellers, Conner & Cuneo, which I joined in 1972. Gil and I were fast friends, and I often subbed for him on the speaking circuit as his health declined. I still remember him shouting from his office, "Hey, Willie, get in here" to discuss a case or a speaking engagement. I was lucky enough to be the firm's leading rainmaker after Gil himself.

After Gil died, the firm merged with a California firm, and I decided to leave in 1982 to set up my own firm. I had physically taken over Gil's office at the request of my partners, and they had asked me to go to California to set up our office there. I declined. I had my hands full with business, especially the asbestos government contract defense and FTCA suit against the government for contribution and indemnity. I asked Joe Hollingsworth to leave with me. Joe was a young lawyer interested in federal court litigation, of which we had more than we could handle.

There are many stories worthy of telling during the next 27 years. We had many essential precedent-setting victories in litigation, growing from a few to as many as 60 lawyers. We judged ourselves by how quickly we responded, how thoroughly we kept our clients informed, and how successfully we achieved the client's objective. We often gathered as a group to celebrate a victory, have a happy hour, and attend our annual summer picnic and winter gala. The profession changed, as did the entire service industry. In fact, the values driving service eroded. We had to change.

The last 13 years have been the best, and they continue. We are free to increase service by practically eliminating overhead and travel time. We are available 24/7 with flexible-around-the-clock responsiveness. Artificial intelligence expands and enhances the breadth and depth of our capabilities. Service is what it used to be and much more. We are having more fun and have more time for creativity and critical thinking. 

We envision your case from beginning to end and share where we suggest you go, how long it will take you to get there, and precisely what it will cost in the worst case. We are at once warriors and diplomats. Most cases settle, but we are not shy about doing battle. We are veterans of many wars in the courtroom. We listen carefully to what you want and devise a strategy to achieve your result efficiently and economically.

On a related note, we lament the general decline of service. Business leadership puts profits ahead of clients, companies, communities, and the workforce. When did you last receive a prompt response from a live person who was genuinely interested in your problem and worked tirelessly to solve it efficiently and economically? We believe in returning the service ethos as our version of making America great again.
