responsibilities for example creating standard contracts, have existed before. However, they have
not been entirely integrated into practice as of yet. Over the recent years, there have been
increasing claims and pressure on law firms to reduce fees. This has led to the to further research
and development of legal technologies to increase efficiency in the profession. Besides, the
pressure to improve accessibility to justice through reducing structural barriers and financial
limitation affecting minorities has enhanced the development of numerous easily available legal
technologies. As technology is advancing to higher level processes, the likelihood for their
incorporation in the legal field is also rising. Previously, the technological revolution endangered
to replace mostly clerical work. This paper will illustrate how lawyers today are threatened by
intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the capacity of computers to perform tasks that are
presumed to require intervention of human intelligence (Hu and Huafeng, 46). For instance,
transcribing audio tapes, flagging outliers, etc. Basically, computers are programmed to operate
under a set of rules such as deductive rules. Such type of rules follows a step by step procedure
till the end result is attained. The application of deductive rules in automated legal process
encompass use of automated document assembly used to create standard legal documents such as

criminal clearance certificates. The automated document assembly utilized relevant personal
information of a client to create the certificate instantly. On the other hand, an automated system
can provide relevant list of cases from a specific court that cite a particular statute. Therefore,
court processes can be modeled as simplified to produce accurate results in a timely manner
using data-driven rules. Artificial intelligence performs more sophisticated legal processes as
the correlation between a set of input varies and the subsequent outputs. In the legal process,
models can be developed to predict the accuracy and outcome levels of justice against
judgements in the courts. The models use consistent pattens to produce results. Besides, there are
various proven automated document software that are used to determine relevance of documents
using seed set inputs (Srivastava, 134). Algorithms can be used to indicate bias in a court process
by comparing actual sentences and race-neutral sentencing. Besides, data-driven algorithms are
used in more sophisticated and complex processes in the judiciary. In essence, artificial
intelligence has helped the judicial system by improving the effectiveness and competence of
routine legal activities. Most judicial systems are employing AI in the legal processes displacing
Technology adoption into the judiciary is influenced by the quality and abilities of the
advancing technologies. The demand of technology is growing since they simplify the court
process. There have been growing claims that lawyers and law firms are relatively expensive.
Cooperates are directing their resources to technological systems because they are cheap and
efficient as compared to law firms (Girasa, 114). Dating back to the evolution of technology,
disruptive theory can be used to explain this phenomenon. As the clerical tasks and low-level
activities and service were being replaced by technology then, so will be legal tasks be replaced

by the advancing technology. This is because automated intelligence application has been proven
to be reliable, improves efficiency, as well as they better serve the client. The adoption of the
expanding technologies is growing day by day into the legal realm (Girasa, 165). In addition, the
demand of the market to the rapid adoption is colossal thus, posing a great threat to the legal
professionals.
posing a significant threat in some situations, while in some settings lawyers are more
significant. In situations of drafting legal documents can be done using the automated data driven
rules. In such situation lawyers may not be approached for any help. However, in cases that
needs more supplicated drafting using features of the law or citing specific incidences, it
becomes more challenging for AI. The creativity as well as the flexibility needed to write such
circumstance, where explicit rules need to be applied the AI cannot be used to make critical
judgments. Despite there limitations, various companies are working to develop more
sophisticated software to close the gap. Automated lawyering is generally used today to analyze
documents or instance IBM’s Debater System. Besides, artificial intelligence is used in the
courts to resolve minor disputes ranging from e-commerce complaints to parking (Barfield, at.
el., 89). New technologies help the lawyers to analyze overlaps between specified preferences of
two parties and can reach a solution without the involvement of a third party. Thus, the
developments of such systems could replace the lawyer’s responsibility and even judges, since
its apparently feasible economically than to hire an attorney. New technologies provide

question that is seen to threaten the legal professionals. From the above discussion, we can
deduce that the increase in utilization of the artificial intelligence in the legal system reduced the
client’s costs. This is apparent with the associated little expenses in regards to quality and
credibility to results. The discussion has also illustrated the various applications of artificial
intelligence that can be used in the legal process. Besides, the discussion has elucidated the
effects of different automations on the legal profession. With the increasing innovation of
technology, the legal professionals are growing fear for their roles and responsibilities in the
legal system. Although, the artificial intelligence system has taken some percentage of the roles
of the legal field, the commitment of the technological staff is progressively developing new
software to take on new legal roles. What will be the fate of the legal professionals in the coming
decade? Truly, the ever-evolving technology is changing the world and many industries, the
