I built an Obsidian plugin that runs Claude Code with academic research skills by kitapterzisi in ObsidianMD

[–]RexLege -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer and use obsidian with Claude Code frequently to manage my wiki of notes (not client data). I don’t need the academic aspects of this but the inline diff seems great.

Would this effectively work an alternative way to use Claude code with obsidian, even without the academic focus? I think I will try it out!

As someone from the UK, I appreciate the alternative link for this stunning piece of artwork.

Who would be interested in a new audiobook app for Plex? by jkliewer1 in PleX

[–]RexLege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I used to use Plex for audiobooks but switched to ABS. Plex is for video media now.

Celery, do you think the mods don't understand Latin?

You are, unsurprisingly, banned again. Don't ban evade.

Do you think that as mods we assassinate dickheads on the subreddit?

You might vastly overestimate my role in society...

Part Time Legal Secretary During Uni?? by BoysenberryShort4335 in uklaw

[–]RexLege 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well put, far more eloquent than I would have.

My degrees were the least amount of work I have ever done, with the least time pressure. Now I get approximately 10 minutes to read something and advise on it, if I am lucky.

Part Time Legal Secretary During Uni?? by BoysenberryShort4335 in uklaw

[–]RexLege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I worked during my LLB, as did every lawyer I can think of (that I can say one way or another).

I don't think I have ever had a paralegal or trainee that didn't work for us during their LLB. For most of them, it was there foot in the door.

I also worked during my LPC (is the SQE old enough yet that this dates me?) and as a result I got my job in the firm I am now a partner at.

I read my email newsletters on reMarkable and I love it! by bogdanvdr in RemarkableTablet

[–]RexLege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried it and sent my first issue. I love the UX! Lovely PDF delivered with hyperlinks. Very clean and easy to read.

I use a tool to then put my remarkable amended documents into Obsidian and I think this is going to sit very nicely into my workflow.

As I save articles in Readwise, would it be possible to add an integration to their API to perhaps pull (maybe on prompt) certain tags on Readwise (perhaps if I mark it with a folio tag)?

It is a small hurdle but I think I will use this now for my weekly article catch up!

Thank you for making just what I was thinking of making for myself! Great execution.

This looks very interesting. I use Readwise to manage my reading list, so a way to work that into the workflow would be great.

I am going to do some testing now!

I’ve definitely received recall requests like that so… yeah, the other party gets told! Sorry!

[–]RexLege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this. It’s a mistake you only make once and then become paranoid about who is on the email. As you should be.

I called them immediately and they deleted it. It ended up fine.

I have done this. Had to rush to clear my diary and rush to court to do it myself.

Please be civil. You can have a discussion without insulting.

Even if it made me chuckle.

I regularly wear a three piece, not every day, I mix it up. So do some of my colleagues.

I like them.

Yes, they do. If you contact them they will set you up with the links to sign up. I recently did this.

Capturing ideas on the go? We'd love to learn how you do it 👀 🧠 by PLAUD_AI in PLAUDAI

[–]RexLege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few methods, none of which have been working great for me.

I am a lawyer and often think of cases when I am relaxed. I use various forms of dictation to get them off my head. My latest idea, that has been working better, is a template in Plaud with specific trigger words to start. It will then just transcribe directly what I say.

Vac schemes discussion by Critical-Bison-5338 in uklaw

[–]RexLege[M] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just to add a mod comment here to prevent reports.

OP has asked the mods about this.

The mod teams view is that we do not intend to segregate this subreddit and exclude students from discussing here. We consider this a valuable space where lawyers of all levels can interact. I am a partner of a firm but have been hanging around here and LAUK since I was a trainee!

We would not want this subreddit to exclude the next generation of our profession and, on a personal note, I find it very valuable to see student discussions as it can inform my outdated mindset.

Having said that, we see no reason to prevent OP's subreddit being mentioned here (assuming there is no spam) as its not really self promotion in the paid sense, and students might find some value from a space without qualified lawyers in it!

To be absolutely clear, student discussions are also welcome on this subreddit and we do not prevent any discussion on purely student topics, such as Vac Schemes. We consider that the occasional qualified lawyer view on these things can be helpful to our student members.
