Six months ago, Molly Abraham, GC at @coinbase considered legal drafting to be her superpower. Then she replaced herself with an AI agent. @mollyisonchain explains her thought process in this clip. "I had to get comfortable with the idea that something I considered like an N of one attribute of my own was something I could automate, I could train, I could improve."

Legal AI dominates headlines. But how are lawyers actually using AI in 2026? To answer that question, I spoke with 10 people at the cutting edge of legal AI. Lawyers like @zackbshapiro, @mollyisonchain, Sujit Raman, @MikeJShowalter, @erichdylus, Aaron Kelly, as well as @CooleyLLP's Chief Innovation Officer, @SpellbookLegal's CEO @scottastevenson and others. By the end of this @LawofCodeFM episode, you'll understand how these lawyers are AI maxxing in 2026.

Nothing in this podcast is legal or investment advice.

It’s a quiet Sunday morning. Before it gets busy, take two minutes to ask the Senate to bring the Clarity Act to the floor for a vote. The government exists to serve the people. Take a minute to tell them this is important to you. Every letter helps.

My conversation with Congressman Tom Emmer (U.S. House @GOPMajorityWhip), one of the most important voices in Congress on digital assets. We cover the CLARITY Act, the importance of the BRCA and ... what makes hockey great. 0:00 The trees that began his political career 2:37 What public service is supposed to be 9:26 The CLARITY Act 13:52 How the crypto industry can help 17:33 Legacy banking 21:26 The BRCA 23:48 Cash is still king (for laundering) 28:04 The Ethics question 31:55 Does this CLARITY pass the House? 34:57 How has politics changed? 43:38 Why ice hockey comes from heaven This episode is presented by @altitude.

As a crypto lawyer, I watched clients struggle with banking and payments for months (sometimes years). It sucked. That's why I'm grateful to have @altitude as the Presenting Sponsor for @LawofCodeFM. It's the type of product I wish existed five years ago. Nearly every business in emerging tech runs into the same payment problems: 1. multiple entities and counterparties 2. across multiple jurisdictions 3. each needing its own payment infrastructure @SimkinStepan, a lawyer-turned-builder who I interviewed nearly five years ago (Ep. 39), stepped away from his legal career to solve problems for businesses. He's built @altitude as the cure for payment headaches. A command center with one account for stablecoins and fiat, Altitude offers zero-fee transfers, Visa cards with cashback on AI and travel spend, automated bill payments, invoicing ... I could go on. If you have clients with payment headaches, Altitude is worth understanding.

Honestly we should be calling these amendments: 1. anti-Freedom 2. anti-Competition 3. anti-Innovation Because at its best, DeFi is freedom, competition and innovation. That why the team @fund_defi works so hard. DeFi is not just an amorphous crypto term.

My podcasts are 2 hour deep dives with experts agreeing that we need rules for crypto … while explaining the legal layer of emerging tech. Episode on CLARITY coming Monday. It will include @NYcryptolawyer and a few others (hoping @SH_Brennan, @iampaulgrewal and @milesjennings), plus snippets from my convos with @BillHughesDC, @thatgerald & more.
