This is why I left the legal profession. I was working for the in-house legal department for a very, very large athletic shoe company, and they had a team working downstairs on automated contract drafting. The company is big enough that they wanted managers to be able to do things like leases without consulting the lawyers. Some sales person would go to a factory outlet mall outside of Cleveland, negotiate for a lease, and rather than run the lease by legal or get legal to draft it, they'd just use a giant web form to generate the lease. The software would be able to parse terms added by the other party and associate a "risk" that may or may not necessitate the involvement of a human. Since writing contracts was my favorite part of practicing law, I saw that staring at me for a year and noped out. I'm a software developer now, and so much happier.
