Rohit Nath's story includes crafting a $1.5 billion settlement with Anthropic, which if approved would be the largest copyright class action settlement ever.

But I think what's much more interesting is the process Rohit used to get here: following curiosity and overlooked opportunities.

We discuss:

• What Rohit discovered by reading a Supreme Court decision 100 times
• The deliberative and iterative process to crafting a path to victory in a frontier dispute
• Visualizing arguments to guide whether to take on a challenging matter
• How Rohit hones his craft by listening to Supreme Court arguments
• The advantages of following legal issues others find boring
