The Lawyer's Galaxy Guide: What Should a Lawyer Do When the World Is Being Lifted?
Lex, Foresight, and the First Sighting of the AI Excavator
Lawyers, as a rule, expect their mornings to go badly — and yet, somehow, they all still cling to some rickety personal routine.
There is coffee.
There is email.
There is the Official Gazette.
And then there are the messages that open with “just a very quick opinion, if you wouldn’t mind” but turn out to contain three distinct branches of law, two board resolutions, one full-blown corporate existential crisis, and a handful of phone calls nobody asked for.
Lex’s morning began exactly like that.
Lex was an earthly lawyer. She had worked hard. She had read a lot. She had, on numerous occasions, watched a small war erupt behind the phrase “let’s just soften this clause a little.” When she first entered the profession, technology mostly made itself known by running out of toner. Then emails, data basess, document trackings etc. arrived. Then e-signatures. Then e-hearings. Then everybody started saying “digital transformation.”
Lex got used to all of it.
But that morning, something else happened.
She looked out the window and saw, hanging in the sky, an enormous excavator.
It had “Claude AI” written on the side.
Then an announcement boomed from the ship — attention, earthly lawyers, the Universal Galactic Council has decided, in the interest of efficiency, to abolish the legal profession. Terribly sorry about that. The tool we’ve developed should wrap things up within a few months.
Lex’s friend Foresight appeared at the door. Come on, we need to go, now — grab your towel...
