The most challenging aspect of automating legal work is developing software that instructs users to apply the law to their legal challenge (or "the computer as a robot lawyer"). These are "expert systems in the law."

In 2015, Joshua Browder launched his legal services chatbot, DoNotPay. The company boasts that it is "home" to the "world's first robot lawyer."

DoNotPay

Next month, a client will be represented in court by the "first-ever robot lawyer." Reports indicate that a defendant will use an AI-powered legal assistant to challenge a traffic ticket. It was the company called "DoNotPay" that created the AI robot. It will work like an app on your phone and provide live coverage of the entire court case. Additionally, the robot will use headphones to give the defendant advice on presenting themselves in court, just like a human lawyer would.

In 2015, Joshua Browder launched his legal services chatbot, DoNotPay. The company boasts that it is "home" to the "world's first robot lawyer." It was first introduced as a chatbot that informs clients of their legal options if they are charged a late payment penalty. Browder claims that we required significant time to teach the AI assistant about the situation. The robot's developers have not revealed the actual date, the court's location, or the defendant's identity. The defendant, an AI robot that can only obey its master's orders, is being sued because it was issued a traffic ticket.

The first mention of AI's possible influence on the law appeared in a 1970 law review article. The technology currently has many real-world uses, even though the writers only saw artificial intelligence as a potential "help in the process of legal reasoning." Artificial intelligence, for instance, can make legal research easier by pointing out authorities commonly cited about a given legal argument. By emphasising clauses that are likely to be included in particular types of contracts, it can also help with contract design. 

Legal analytics is another exciting area. 

• AI is used in law to make probabilistic predictions about a case based on analogous, previously resolved cases. More data helps AI systems predict trial outcomes, settlement values, and legal fees.
• A recent analysis of the billings of major and medium-sized legal firms by Dana Remus and Frank Levy provides insight into the possibility of the replacement of lawyers by intelligent technology. 
• Remus and Levy found that most attorney time is spent on legal strategy and analysis, client counselling, fact investigation, negotiations, and court appearances. Lawyers spend very little time on discovery and other automatable tasks. Even fervent futurists have admitted that these tasks are outside the scope of intelligent robots and that it is doubtful that they would ever completely replace attorneys in this regard. 
• The study by Remus and Levy also revealed that the nature of legal practice is dynamic. For instance, using artificial intelligence in discovery has opened up new opportunities for legal work. 
• Lawyers spend less time examining documents for production and more time learning about their client's data and negotiating and opposing document review methods.
• Cybersecurity and data privacy is vital to today's data-driven economy, but they weren't viable a decade ago.

Conclusion 

According to New Scientist, the AI robot will analyse the facts given in court and provide the defendant recommendations on how to respond. Joshua Browder claims that DoNoPay has conceded to pay any penalties should they be found guilty. The company's goal is to facilitate users' ability to "fight businesses, beat bureaucracy, and sue anyone at the click of a button." According to the company's mission statement, "DoNotPay uses artificial intelligence to assist people in their battles against major corporations and find solutions to their issues, such as defeating parking tickets, disputing bank fees, and fighting robocalls." It continues, "DoNotPay's mission is to create an environment where everyone has equal access to legal information and self-help."
