Ripeness: Why Efforts to Bypass Local Land-Use Decisions Die on the Vine In the Second Circuit

Leo Dorfman & Vincent Ferry

As land-use cases increasingly find themselves in federal court, 61 East Main Street stands as a pivotal reminder to litigants that frustration with municipal delay is no substitute for finality.

When Efficiency Meets the Duty to Verify: Reflections on The Verification-Value Paradox

Leigh Vickery

The Verification-Value Paradox states that increases in efficiency from AI use “will be met by a correspondingly greater imperative to manually verify” the outputs. The result is that the net value of AI in many legal contexts may be negligible once verification is honestly accounted for. For low-stakes tasks, verification costs are light. For core legal work, verification costs are heavy. That’s the tension.
