WELCOME

Hi, I’m Justin.

I write about law, AI, and building organizations. You’ll find my posts, projects, and a quick word game here.

Koi and lotus flowers — two personal favorites.

A bit about me.

Law. AI. Building organizations.

I studied Political Science and History at Rutgers and plan to go to law school. My main interests are law, AI, and building organizations: how rules affect people, how new tools change our work, and how people organize around a shared purpose.

Outside of that, I play soccer and piano, cook Italian food, and enjoy photography. This site is a place to share what I’m learning and working on.

A quick word game.

Two short puzzles, with hints if you need them.

PUZZLE 1 · POND TO MIND

Turn POND into MIND in three moves. Change exactly one letter per move, keep the letters in place, and make a real word each time.

Find the two missing words in your head or on paper. Then check your route.

Need a nudge?

Word 1: a tie between people; also a legal obligation.
Word 2: to tie together; what a contract can do.

Reveal the route

POND → BOND → BIND → MIND

P becomes B, O becomes I, and B becomes M. One letter changes each time.

One more? From code to music

Turn CODE into TUNE in three moves, using the same rules.

CODE → ? ? ? ? → ? ? ? ? → TUNE

Show the clues

Word 1 holds ice cream. Word 2 is a musical sound.

Reveal the second route

CODE → CONE → TONE → TUNE
