## Summary

Can AI Democratise the World's Most Exclusive Algorithm? A Review of Emerging Legal AI Capabilities and Their Implications for Access to Justice

## Overview

5.1 billion people (World Justice Project) have at least one unmet justice need, and US lawyers average $341 an hour. Argues that legal reasoning is structurally identical to code (statutes as axioms, clauses as methods, loopholes as bugs, case law as version history). Draws on Vals AI LegalBench (Gemini 3 Pro at 87.04%), Box AI's evaluation of Gemini 3.1 Pro (legal accuracy rising from 57% to 74%), and industry data from Harvey, CoCounsel and LexisNexis. Covers six use cases, an honest treatment of hallucination (17–43% per Stanford HAI) and a practical framework for non-specialists.
