Superjustice: Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence will transform law. That does not mean it will produce justice.

Courts are backlogged. Legal help remains unaffordable for billions of people. Rules designed for an earlier age are struggling to keep pace with modern life. AI now gives us an extraordinary opportunity, not merely to digitize this failing system, but to redesign it.

In Superjustice, leading law-and-technology scholars Samuel Becher and Benjamin Alarie present a provocative new vision of law as dynamic, responsive infrastructure designed for human flourishing.

They diagnose ten fundamental failures of existing legal systems and explore how AI could enable faster decisions, personalized law, broader public participation, hybrid decentralized governance, and legal expertise available to everyone rather than only those who can afford it.

The authors also confront the risks: bias, hallucination, opaque algorithms, surveillance, inequality, institutional resistance, and the danger of automating injustice at unprecedented scale. Their CRISPR-J framework offers a practical standard for evaluating whether new legal systems are cost-effective, rapid, inclusive, smart, predictive, and resilient.

Neither a utopian sales pitch nor a dystopian warning, Superjustice asks the question that will define the future of law:

If AI makes radically better legal systems possible, what would we have to change to build them?
