May 2022 Newsletter

This month's no cost MCLE will provide a fascinating look into AI Personhood, and how artificial intelligence entities challenge traditional legal frameworks of liability. Who should be held accountable when a self-driving car kills a pedestrian? The programer? Algorithm creator? Head of the dev team? Driver? Manufacturer?  How about when a militarized drone mistakes a passenger car for a tank, based on programming?

Professor Nadia Banteka, before entering academia, was a defense counsel before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. She has taught around the world, and researched the intersection of criminal procedure and law with policing, along with emerging legal issues on AI within the criminal legal system and beyond. She joined McGeorge School of Law faculty in 2021. If you would like a preview of Banteka's thoughts, check out her recent publication in the Houston Law Review here.

As usual, we will start with a brief Q&A/update from the Bench. If you have questions for the Court, or for YCBA, you can email me at president@yolobar.com.

See you all soon,
Raphael Moore

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The new local rule on remote appearance in Yolo Superior Court is available here.

Effective March 14th, the Court will be dropping COVID restrictions, including as follows:
  • Masks will not be required (but of course are allowed);
  • All judicial officers will hear cases in their own departments, including jury hardship screening (Commissioner Hohenwarter will move back to D2 for her entire calendar);
  • Social distancing markers and plexiglass will be removed; and
  • Jurors will be able to sit in the jury box rather than dispersed throughout the courtroom.
Optional remote appearance will continue, in accordance with Local Rule 2.4.
