> Imagine a million lawyers' days being recorded in 60s intervals - including what they type, the files they have opened, etc. - how long would it take to encode the average lawyer into a hdf5 file? How many lawyers would be fine with that kind of assistance?

Pretty sure that large law firms already automate a lot of the work they do. Standard contracts they customize for instance.

But really, aren't a lot of (billables) hours spent explaining legal concepts to customers?
