DoNotPay wants to pay lawyers to be human proxies in court for its robots

Can a lawyer even ethically do this? Outsource their statements to a third party, robot or not?

I’m presuming that, if you go down this route, the robot is your lawyer.

Sure, but lawyers need to be bar certified to appear in front of a judge generally.

Yeah, seems like the best they could hope for is paying an individual to allow the robot to supply arguments for that individual’s own case.

In that case, as lcnPylGDnU4H9OF alludes to, I assume you’ll represent yourself — using the arguments of the robot lawyer?

I’m not confident on the security requirements of the USSC, but I wouldn’t imagine that they’d let AirPods be taken in - much less by the defendant?
