If you knew what lawyers do for a living you would probably realize that lawyers are probably one of the worst candidates for replacement by AI.

While a variety of smart or dumb machines are used today to assist lawyers, unless you are talking about Sci-Fi level AI, I can't see lawyers being replaced by AI. Okay, maybe a number of lawyers whose jobs are mostly secretarial in nature may be replaced by smarter tools, but not lawyers who counsel or advocate for clients.

It would only work in some kind of Sci-Fi dystopia where the legal system would be unrecognizable to those used to an adversarial based common law system, or the like.
