Quick Take

  • Software that replaces lawyers and legal judgment is a holy grail for some software developers, who may see laws and lawyers as needlessly adding expense and complexity to transactions and interactions.
  • Whether or not the accusation is true or fair, software that exercises human judgment remains over the horizon and is unlikely to replace actual people anytime soon.
  • Tools that automate case outcome predictions maybe more within realistic reach, but should be built with human users in mind.
The holy grail for some software developers often seems to be something that gets rid of lawyers.
