Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay aims to contribute robust grounds to question the Susskinds’ influential, consequentialist logic when it comes to the legitimacy of automation within the legal profession. It does so by questioning their minimalist understanding of the professions. If it is our commitment to moral equality that is at stake every time lawyers (fail to) hail the specific vulnerability inherent in their professional relationship, the case for wholesale automation is turned on its head. One can no longer assume that, as a rule, wholesale automation is both legitimate and desirable, provided it improves the quality and accessibility of legal services (in an accountable and maximally transparent way). The assumption, instead, is firmly in favour of designing systems that better enable legal professionals to live up to their specific responsibility. The rest of the essay outlines key challenges in the design of such profession-specific, ‘ethics aware’ decision-support systems.

适用于法律职业的计算机系统？

摘要：本文旨在为质疑Susskinds夫妇在法律界自动化的合法性方面的影响力和后果主义逻辑提供有力的依据。它通过质疑他们对职业的最低限度理解来做到这一点。如果每当律师们（未能）为他们职业关系中固有的特定脆弱性欢呼时，我们对道德平等的承诺就岌岌可危，那么大规模自动化的情况就彻底改变了。人们不能再认为，作为一种规则，批发自动化是合法和可取的，只要它能提高法律服务的质量和可及性（以负责任和最大限度透明的方式）。相反，这一假设坚定地支持设计能够更好地使法律专业人员履行其具体职责的制度。文章的其余部分概述了在设计这种专业性的、“道德意识强”的决策支持系统时面临的关键挑战。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
