I was initially happy with the title of the article but this is exactly the reason why the content left me disappointing. It is very difficult to capture law in a computational context and there are interesting forums these days.
That said, there are interesting questions to ask.
* What are the properties to make a law (fully/partially) computational?
* What stages of time could law be made computational? Time, number of cases etc.
* What laws could be made computational and what can not? Are there laws that could never be made computational? Are there laws that could be made fully computational? Are there laws that could be partially computational?
* What are the effects of computational law on the legal ecosystem? Would it give rise to less better lawyers and judges?
I think such questions need investigation (if not already done).
