EDIT: Hmm - I'm actually having a problem finding anything saying ROSS actually passed the bar. Maybe my memory is faulty...

IBM had an AI (Ross) pass the bar years ago...I believe it was actually 'hired' as an attorney at a firm in London for routine paperwork..

The argument I can imagine is already around (like for many potential AI applications): even if you know the law, such as if you are a lawyer, you always get representation because judges and jurors are prejudiced to rate self-representing participants worse.

I can easily imagine the same (unprincipled) dynamic applying to an AI lawyer.
