Perhaps, but a lot of lawyering is very expensive. If that turns out to not be so expensive, the practice is going to change.

Right now the court system works at a snail's pace, because it expects that expensive lawyering happens slowly. If that assumption starts to change, and then the ineffectiveness of the courts due to their lack of modernization will really gum up the system because they are nowhere near prepared for a world in which lawyering is cheap and fast.

Nah, courts are already hugely backlogged.
