Artificial intelligence is transforming the legal industry, according to Harvard Law School graduate Logan Brown, who says the technology is already changing how firms deploy talent, price work and compete for clients. Brown argues that the traditional BigLaw model, built around large teams of highly paid associates, is facing a profound challenge as AI takes on tasks that were once assigned to junior lawyers. He recalls that his first assignment at a law firm involved manually making signature lines the same length across 18 documents. The client was charged more than $600 an hour for the work, despite it being…

Liverpool could revive their interest in Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh in January, with the player’s recovery from a foot injury and Cody Gakpo’s future likely to influence any move. The Reds failed to reach an agreement for the 22-year-old during the summer transfer window after Brighton rejected offers of £50 million and £60 million. The Seagulls were initially seeking about £70m before reportedly increasing their valuation to £80m. Liverpool ultimately ended their pursuit, with Minteh’s injury understood to have been a significant factor in the decision. Liverpool interest in Yankuba Minteh remains possible Gambian journalist Foday Manneh said the possibility…

Western Australia suffered a nine-wicket defeat to Tasmania at the WACA Ground after being bowled out for 115 in their second One-Day Cup match of the season. The Tigers needed fewer than 17 overs to complete the chase, with their bowlers having exposed another collapse in the WA top order. The result followed an abandoned tournament opener against South Australia on Friday night, when WA had also been placed under pressure. Riley Meredith led Tasmania’s attack with four wickets for 11 runs from eight overs, while Test all-rounder Beau Webster claimed three for 31 from 7.2 overs. Cam Bancroft and…

A Gaza memorial exhibition at Leeds Minster has been closed after Jewish community representatives said a tapestry on display included the names of at least 25 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. The Bishop of Leeds, the Rt Rev Dr Toby Howarth, ordered the removal of the exhibition after receiving a dossier from the Leeds Jewish Representative Council (LJRC). The memorial, titled Stitch Their Names Together, had been due to remain on display until Sunday. It featured at least 90 panels bearing 16,800 names taken from a list of those reported killed in Gaza by the Hamas-run health ministry. Researchers…

The Kennedy Center in Washington has been shut temporarily after a piece of ceiling plaster fell in the building, but President Donald Trump’s recent threats suggest the closure is also tied to his battle to put his name on the arts venue. Around five feet of ceiling plaster came down during a storm earlier this month. No one was hurt, yet the debris was left on the carpet for almost two weeks while staff photographed and measured it for a 55-page briefing on the building’s condition. Trump later claimed online that a security guard had narrowly avoided “certain death”. Less…

A man has been killed and his partner seriously injured in an alleged petrol-fuelled house fire in Redhill, South Australia. Don Couzens, 65, had travelled from Mildura to spend the weekend with Jenni Henderson when police allege her former partner arrived at the property on Hope Street at about 7pm on Saturday and set it alight. The house was quickly engulfed by flames. Ms Henderson escaped and ran across the road to a neighbour for help, while Mr Couzens remained trapped inside. Neighbour Rachel Manning said Ms Henderson had suffered severe burns. “They were both covered in petrol. She was…

A former investment banker is building his Sandbanks dream home almost 30 years after demolishing a converted boathouse led to a long-running planning dispute and threatened his plans for the site. Simon Bowden, 66, bought the half-acre plot on the exclusive Dorset peninsula for £820,000 in 1998. The property included a dilapidated, 90ft-long boathouse built in the 1920s close to the water. Although the structure predated rules restricting new homes near the shoreline, Mr Bowden’s decision to demolish most of it meant he could no longer rely on its historic status. He is now constructing a three-storey, five-bedroom house further…

Democrats are showing signs of a potential blue wave in the 2026 election, with recent national polling placing the party more than eight points ahead on the generic congressional ballot. Such a margin would represent a sweeping improvement on the 2024 result, when Donald Trump won the presidential vote by 1.5 points and Republicans secured the national House popular vote by almost three points. A wave election has no formal definition. It generally describes a decisive victory in which a party wins the main battlegrounds while also overturning districts and seats that had been considered safely held by its opponent.…
