As someone constantly dealing with lawyers on a day-to-day basis, I cannot wait for the day that self-empowered "legal hackers" are able to compete against lawyers using tools such as Watson/ROSS.

Imagine being able to dictate grounds for relief, and have the machine draft the paperwork for you, ready to sign/witness and file.

Imagine not having to pay a lawyer $400/hour to answer what should be a simple question.

Imagine being able to have computer-based training about the acts/statutes you are currently referencing in your process.

I can't wait.
