>I know this is sarcasm, but law seems like a great candidate for automation. The law is literally a set of rules. And in the process of automating legal stuff, we might be forced to clean up some existing instances of ambiguity and vagueness. Wouldn't that be nice? Lovely. Unfortunately, most of the practice of law is arguing over its interpretation. If we can automate product management (giving vague instructions to a computer that can figure out exactly what you want from it), we can automate law.
