Don't they just fill out forms for you at this point? I think that's more likely to help actual lawyers but idk
Software that can assist an untrained layman with defeating a traffic ticket in court is enough to count as a basic lawyer replacement in my opinion. The majority of people who got those tickets likely would not have even known to contest, and would not have been able to win if they did.
The fact is, a computer can search through billions of lines of legal code in a matter of minutes to assist with getting people off the hook for whatever bullshit. The biggest problem with the average citizen in court is ignorance of courtroom etiquette and simply not knowing where to even start attacking a case. Software can assist real time with the former and outright provide arguments for the latter.
I. think the key is these people wouldn't hire lawyers anyways. Seems good for the average person, but not necessarily bad for lawyers. Jmo though ---
