How Will Artificial Intelligence Change The Legal System?

How will AI, machine learning, and big data affect the legal system as technology improves? For a long time, lawyers believed they couldn't be replaced by machines. It's true: the legal industry over the past decade has amassed a graveyard of failed attempts to innovate and few large exits. It's also true that legal arguments can be highly case-specific and not necessarily conducive to automation. But asking whether individual lawyers can be entirely replaced by machines isn't asking the right question.
