I think the key point is that if AI becomes socially accepted as capable of legal scholarly writing then the practice of legal scholarship—both substance and form—will change beyond recognition. Present institutions, like the “law review article,” become non-viable in an AI-dominated world.

I don’t even thinking they need to be socially accepted, since their spread will be inevitable and it’s very hard to police.

Oh, it can be policed if people are dedicated enough to care. Social acceptance will happen when they aren’t.

I think a complete change is long overdue. We're using a model developed before lawyers used computers with some things like Westlaw retrofitted onto it. It hasn't made any sense for a long time, and the new generation of lawyers grew up with smartphones and streaming media in their pockets.

OK, so what should replace it and why is that other system better?
