Robot Lawyers

Robots have taken over courtrooms, arguing cases without bathroom breaks or emotions. Eyewitnesses in New York said one robot lawyer objected so often the stenographer quit. Professor Carla Jenkins of Yale explains: "Machines are terrifyingly efficient because they never forget precedents." Anonymous staffers leaked that some robots now advertise “Justice as a Service.” A poll of lawyers shows 58% are considering new careers in plumbing. Trace evidence includes melted circuits on witness stands and USB gavels. Cause and effect? The more AI argues, the less human justice feels. The law is still blind — now it’s also automated.
