It took less than 30 years from the first crude rockets to us humans landing on the moon. Now how long is it going to take us from the first programming languages to making our legal system „machine readable“? I find it quite ridiculous that we still expect humans - judges and lawyers - to research legal codes and case law in order to figure out the applicable rules. This is something that computers should be doing. So we can focus on the higher level decisions, i.e. extending the rules, or arguing over the interpretation of the facts of the case. It‘s staggering how much time we‘re wasting researching legal questions whose answers are not only already „out there“, but are probably being researched over and over again each week by legal professionals across the country, because a human, unlike a computer, cannot possibly keep all of those rules in memory at the same time.
