A quick definition of political asylum:

Political asylum is a place where people who are in danger in their own country can go to be safe. It is like a shelter or sanctuary. Sometimes, people have to leave their own country because they are being arrested or hurt by the government. Political asylum is a way for them to get protection from another country or embassy. It is also called asylum.

A more thorough explanation:

Political asylum is a type of protection given to people who are fleeing their home country because of persecution or fear of persecution. It is granted by another country, which provides a safe place for the person to live without fear of being arrested or harmed.

For example, if someone in a country is being targeted because of their political beliefs or activities, they may seek political asylum in another country. This could be because they fear for their safety or because they have already been arrested or threatened with arrest.

Another example is when a person is fleeing their home country because of war or other violence. They may seek political asylum in another country to escape the danger and find a safe place to live.

Political asylum is an important way for countries to protect the rights of people who are being persecuted or threatened in their home country. It allows them to live in safety and freedom, without fear of being arrested or harmed.

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

late march is way too late
