January 28, 2026 Dinner Meeting and Team Presentation

At the January 28, 2026 Dinner Meeting, President of the Leo A. Deegan Inn of Court (“Deegan Inn”), Gabriel “Gabe” White, welcomed all new and returning members to the Inn. The meeting was held at our regular location, Loft 84, and was preceded with a social where the members mingled.

Gabe reminded Inn members that the Deegan Inn is always looking for new members to join, in any area of law. The Deegan Inn has a budget to cover meals for any interested potential members so please feel free to invite an attorney you think would be interested in joining the Deegan Inn. Please email Gabe for additional information.

Gabe also reminded Deegan Inn members of the Joint Inn Meeting of the Inland Empire Chapters of the American Inns of Court, which is being hosted by the Hon. Joseph Campbell Inn of Court (San Bernardino). Details were emailed to all Deegan Inn members approximately one week prior.

The presenting team, led by Hon. John Vineyard, led a discussion on technology and the law, as well as legal ethics titled “The Cat in the Chat.”

Judge Vineyard was dressed as the Dr. Seuss character “The Cat in the Hat.”

Each team members’ biographies were generated by ChatGPI, as was the presentation on various cases involving AI generated “legal” citations and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

At the conclusion of the presentation, Deegan Inn members were invited to score the presentation from a ranking of 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The team and winning presentation will be announced at the September 2026 Orientation Meeting.
