Kid is going to kindergarten in #florida and I got an email from the school about #textbook adoption.

I admit I haven't been paying as close attention to anything other than the news articles-- but as we know the real stuff is in the #statutes, not the #media.

Can those familiar with how these are being implemented/enforced please help me with responding to this the email from the school.

The Writers (Omega) by David Annand, 2005, on the Clyde Waterfront in Renfrew.

The inscription being written by the writes reads:
"The future is waiting to be written; all weathers we lean to the task; the sky balanced on our shoulders like the past".

Turns out #GPT4 helps understand/simplify statutory language:

In #lawschool, my prof — a non-technical person — suggested breaking down #statutes into IF THEN statements.

As a litigator/lawyer, I've found the practice very helpful — helping me (and clients + courts + juries) to better conceptualize [poorly drafted/structured] statutes.

GPT-4 does really well at this! (See screenshots)

P.S. @lexpedite , have you experimented with this?

If you work for an agency you should always read a copy of their #budget, their #statutes, and #regulations. Outside the current political environment that’s all they care about at the top.

New study: 48% of 204 states & jurisdictions do NOT have a "minimally viable" #OpenAccess database of their #statutes.
https://doi.org/10.1093/ojls/gqac032

A database of statutes was considered minimally viable when it was "(i) provided online & free for all without…registration or payment, (ii) searchable [by] statutes’ titles, (iii) searchable [by] full texts…, (iv) provided in a reusable text-based format & (v) comprehensive in its coverage of at least the laws currently in force."

We made #history tonight 🇪🇺🇵🇹✌️💪⚡️and became the first national #politicalparty in #Portugal to include #genderequality and #copresidency in our #statutes for approval by the Portuguese #constitutionalcourt.

Join us on our voyage towards a truly inclusive society. Don't let populists and extremists divide us, because we are much #strongertogether.
