No. And that's not just because of Betteridge's Law. Lawyers do much more than write contracts. (In fact, most contracts are boilerplate cobbled together by juniors). Lawyers exist to explain to their clients what the law means and what they need to do (or not do) to comply with it - often for very specific situations or in areas where the situation of law is ambiguous. Exactly the things that computers aren't good at. Oh, and the junior lawyers who write contracts aren't going away either. The other part of their job is typically researching the law and identifying potentially relevant extracts and judicial opinions so that the seniors (doing the advising) can just read the relevant bits instead of spending multiple days in the library (digital or otherwise).
