In other words: the penny finally dropped for lawyers. The next decade will be every knowledge field actively conspiring against AI.
So, web programmers could be going against AI on the grounds of self-preservation and be wholly justified in doing so, but lawyers are entitled to go after AI on more fundamental, irreconcilable differences. AI becomes a passive 'l'estat, cest moi' thing locking in whatever it's arrived at as a local maximum and refusing to introspect. This is antithetical to law.
But day to day, they spend a lot of their time selling boiler plate contracts and wills or trying to smuggle loopholes into verbose contracts, or trying to find said holes in said contracts presented by a third party[1]
Or if they are involved in criminal law, I suspect they spend most of their time sifting the evidence and looking for the best way to present it for their client - and in the age of digital discovery the volume of evidence is overwhelmning.
And in terms of delivering justice in a criminal case - isn't that the role of the jury ( if you are lucky enough still to have one ).
I suspect very few lawyers ever get involves in cases that lead to new precedents.
