Law is fuzzy logic that takes in wide band information in a contextual way. AIs are terrible at that, at least as we have them now.

> I'm betting in 5 years we'll see lawyers use AI to help them do their job, specifically to help them create logical arguments for their cases.

So, actually, Lawyers are using AI right now - but not in that way. Specifically AI is used to analyze and bring up relevant case law, in the same way a law clerk might. It's not perfect, it still requires humans to clean up, but it saves some hours since it can analyze a lot of law quickly and vaguely run a likelihood analysis.

Law is also in English. English is not formally logical. Frequently laws have subtle wording problems.
