This book provides insights into how AI is changing legal practice, government processes, and individuals access to those processes, encouraging each of us to consider how technological advances are changing the legal system. Particularly, and distinct from current debates on how to regulate AI, this books focuses on how the progressive merger between computational methods and legal rules changes the very structure and application of the law itself.
We investigate how automation is changing the legal analysis, legal rulemaking, legal rule extraction, and application of legal rules and how this impacts individuals, policymakers, civil servants, and society at large. We show through many examples that a debate on how automation is changing the law is needed, which must revolve around the democratic legitimacy of the automation of legal processes, and be informed by the technical feasibility and tradeoffs of specific endeavors.
The book explores diverse legal tech applications, from "robot-judges" to computational law, systematically classifying their impacts and distinguishing between hype and reality. It examines scandals and ethical issues in legal tech worldwide, highlighting accountability challenges and real-world consequences.
