This week on Case of the Week, Kelly Twigger of Minerva26 dives into Schulte v. LinkedIn. In this notable decision, a Northern District of California court refused to force LinkedIn to disclose how it used generative AI (Relativity aiR) for document review. The key takeaway? The AI transparency you want from opposing counsel must be negotiated into the ESI protocol upfront—it is not something you can easily win on a motion after the fact.
