I feel like there is a difference between being able to pass a bar exam and being a "good" lawyer. I suspect AI tools would enhance the jobs of clerks rather than attorneys, mostly because clerks spend a great deal of time going over case law, text, and doing research.

> enhance the jobs of clerks

We already did, it is called "Case Based Reasoning" within Decision Support Systems.

While it won't be a good lawyer, it can replace lots of bad lawyers when people just want to send some legal papers or ask some legal advice.
