Robot Lawyers

Gary North - July 15, 2017

It had to happen: robot lawyers.

This company lets you hire a program for free to fight traffic tickets. The cost? Free.

Over 300,000 people have beaten tickets.

The service is being expanded to cover other issues that people hire lawyers to solve.

But isn't this practicing law without a license? Not if the service is free.

There will be competitors.

Here is a law of economics: "When the price falls, more is demanded."

I wonder if the defendants will hire robot lawyers.

Will the courts jam up? Will juries decide which robot has the stronger case?
