      ab: The article examines how electronic technologies are impacting the legal system. It states that the digitization of laws into electronic texts increases access for lawyers and clients, allows for new forms of persuasion that combine text with mass media, and broadens the scope of available resources. The author also explores how legal expertise could be transferred to software that is customized to individual cases. He then looks at how this will affect the legal profession, specifically the decreased need for personal, and often expensive, meetings with lawyers. Instead, he suggests that lawyers will profit from designing high-quality expert systems, and thus creating new careers as legal system authors and engineers.
