This might be a way to help overburdened court appointed defense attorneys better represent their clients (as well as speed up the overburdened judicial system).
I'd like to think of this as comparable to CAD for architects, except attorneys have never had any serious domain-focused assistive software, beyond word processing. Maybe some have, but it's not a well-known category that I've been able to see.
There are some packages for very specific sub-fields, things like Collection Master and such but I'm not aware of anything generic enough to cover the field of 'law'.
There is a lot out there, for everything from case management to practice management to discovery to legal research to legal composition to litigation support ...
I hope I can see the day when the justice system is run completely by benevolent AI. Legislative too, for that matter, and at least partially the executive functions of government as well, while we're at it, including law enforcement.
The matrix was a movie about being connected to and living in a simulation without knowing it. The judges could very well be real peoples' consciousnesses. Not really a good comparison.
