Nah I can easily believe that lawyers would sue anyone or anything claiming to replace them.
Source: Am lawyer. Licensing of notaries, paralegals, advocates, is always contentious. Lawyers don't just argue the law, in most cases they've written in. More baked in than doctors, and try fuck with them.
On the upside, cheaper legal services via AI. On the downside, won't be that much cheaper because professional liability insurance and you lose the ability to work between the lines, make an emotional appeal, etc. A robo lawyer arguing a family law custody case will probably not be as effective as a robo lawyer arguing a debt collection case. But if I can ask an AI to research caselaw instead of doing searches myself, great.
