Me, drafting a no-cost extension to contract: "this contract has a new end date of X", sign here.

My EU consortium no-cost extension: 13 pages, possibly including poetry... I haven't gotten that far yet.

Halfway through my latest article on #contracts for Research Professional and have decided it's boring. Or maybe I've just been at it for too long. #lawfedi #amwriting

The Authors Guild has proposed new provisions to limit AI in book contracts. https://authorsguild.org/news/ag-introduces-new-publishing-agreement-clauses-concerning-ai/

I generally enjoy editing colleagues' writing. But fixing someone's contract drafting is something else. I cannot have gin, so a cup of tea it is.

If an AI accepts a EULA and nobody is there to manifest assent, does it make a contract? Nope, but then again, consumer assent to clickwrap/browsewrap agreements is already mostly pretend. Anyway, this will be a real issue soon: AI tools that use mouse/GUI are on the way. #lawfedi #contractlaw #ipprofs #ailaw #contracts #lawkoans

Having to explain to the funder in Scotland that I won’t be able to sign the contract until next week as my only available witnesses are three cats. And now I’m wondering… my cats wouldn’t let anyone who isn’t me near them so I’m pretty sure they can vouch it was me signing 🤔

I have yet to find an NHS Trust that can draft a decent research contract. It is very tedious, and very dull. #research #contracts #law

My boss (not a lawyer) to me: How much time do you spend unnecessarily negotiating certain contract clauses?

I said it was a trick question...

I work in the NHS, if we get given gifts, we have to 'declare our interests' via official channels and there's a limit on what we can accept.
Reading Good Law Projects posts about all the Covid contracts without any come back, despite the millions involved and the 'donations' to the party or members that followed is just outrageous.

When emailing somebody you work with a contract, and asking them to re-sign, you have to be really careful to remember the hyphen.

I haven't looked at these types of contracts for years, but I recall clauses that require return of the deposit for changing conditions like you can't qualify for a loan? #realestate #contracts https://www.npr.org/2022/11/16/1135838986/some-homebuyers-lose-deposits-of-10-000-20-000-or-more-due-to-high-mortgage-rate

So back to Malcom Gladwell's exploration of "Little Mermaid" and other #FairyTales.

Here's episode 1.

If you are in #LawFedi perhaps you might be interested in how #Contracts are handled in #Disney version of #LittleMermaid.

Maybe later one learns to consult lawyer, but not always (as is seen w #TFG)

Transformation of fairy tale (esp. re "values") is def. food for thought, too. 4/4
