PART FOUR
AI IN THE LAW
HIGGS AND JOHNSON - WHO ARE THEY???
KENDRICK KNOWLES

*texokie wields her trusty little spade and notices that the blisters from previous months have now turned into protective calluses. It is not quite so challenging to dig as it was. She is surprised at the first thing to turn up:*

While this particular Kendrick Knowles shows at the link to have been born in the Bahamas in 1988, and is a “Candidate Master,” another source shows that there are at least 3 known “Kendrick Knowles” in the Bahamas. It was not in this reporter’s ability to access face book to try to figure out which of those three have ties to H&J.

Moving on:

*Texokie tears herself away from the fascinating world of High Powered Chess, and decides to go back to the H&J web site for more clues. She blinks behind her trifocals with surprise:*

Knowles is not actually listed as one of the “Attorneys” on the Attorneys page for the firm, but rather, seems to be the one responsible for hosting their Annual Client Seminars. Kendrick Knowles, who puts on the seminars for the H&J firm may or may not be an attorney....He might have legal background, in order to host those events and apparently to write at least portions of the newsletter. But he does not appear to be one of their shining stars.

Going back to the H&J web site:

https://higgsjohnson.com/?s=Kendrick+Knowles

The link to the FOCUS Vol. 62, Issue 1/2018 seems to have been pulled, for it no longer functions - at least not as this piece is being written.

Here is the link blurb to the article which we could have seen, if it were working:

“FOCUS Vol. 62, Issue 1/2018
Sham - To Be or Not to Be? A summary of the MezhProm Bank and the Pugachev Decision - Theominique Nottage Trusts in the Cayman Islands - Gina M. Berry Artificial Intelligence in the Law….”

So our Kendrick may NOT be the one involved in spearheading the H&J thrust into AI Law after all….. it seems to be Gina Berry, who DOES show up in connection with the articles on AI, as well as being prominent in the list of Attorneys.

The verbiage about “MezhProm Bank” etc. pertains to an entirely different article in the newsletter, having nothing to do with the AI topic which we are after. The new interest appears to be Gina Berry.

*texokie polishes her glasses, delighted to be able to side step from the intense legalese which appeared in her researches about the Mezhprom, etc. case. It was making her eyes glaze over into little shiny marbles. She finds she has intensely conflicting emotions, wondering why in the world she didn’t pursue study of the law…. and being highly relieved that she never did. She turns her focus on Gina Berry. Shovel in hand, texokie digs.*
