My point is you're ignoring the fact that the bar association has a distinct interest in having the courts run smoothly and making sure lawyers in court are competent. So it is highly in their interest for a courtroom to not become a mockery because of a chatbot.

Not everything associations like the bar does is in bad faith or contrary to the public's interest.



This is fundamentally incorrect.

The court system's smoothness or lack thereof is the responsibility of the country's judiciary IE the government. The bar associations for each state in contrast:

-Licenses attorneys and regulates the profession and practice of law in their -respective states -Enforces Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys -Disciplines attorneys who violate rules and laws -Administers the California Bar Exam -Advances access to justice -Promotes diversity and inclusion in the legal system

EG they're trade unions and they're going to become the luddites of the 21st century.


You obviously have a chip on your shoulder against lawyers because your framing of this is incredibly weird.
