From Grauniad of the UK
"We shall suspend proceedings for 20 minutes, while the barrister representing the plaintiff, ping, ping, tik-tok, re-start, re-start, ping, ping, ok, ok, gonk, undergoes a full software upgrade."
The plaintiff was able to have her case prepared by an AI-powered lawyer. The next step would be to replace the [human] barrister, who still had to stand up in court and present the AI-generated paperwork, with an AI-powered humanoid robot barrister, trained to sound really posh and knowledgeable. If the judge is also an advanced AI machine, the two of them could have a discussion in code. I think it's the way forward. Simpler, faster and cheaper. And fewer mistakes, hopefully.

An artificial intelligence law firm has won a case in an English court, in what is believed to be the first time a trial has been won using an AI lawyer.
A freelance HR consultant, Tamires Camal Taquidir, paid the firm, Garfield AI, about £400 to send a legal letter and then issue court proceedings over an unpaid debt of £7,000.
The co-founder of Garfield, Philip Young, called it a “landmark moment” for access to justice and said many small businesses have had to write off debts because the cost of litigation outweighed the money they could hope to win.
