In criminal trial I can imagine this catching on, as it could produce more consistent sentencing outcomes; assuming the state didn't factor in some racial coefficient.

However, I doubt that senior corporate lawyers will ever be replaced by computers.
Corporate lawyers contractually scheme with execs for profit/advantage, or scheme for PR damage control. I'm not sure how execs could scheme with a legal program.

It's alarming to imagine a scheming AI bot that is connected to global high-speed trading systems. Something like a nascent SkyNET of Wall St.
