Who says lawyers are resistant to automation? E-discovery is a booming market. Y-combinator just funded a startup called Klarity that reads and interprets contracts for you.

Seriously. I used to run data centers on both coasts and we had easily a half a dozen eDiscovery firms and several regular law firms with big data center presences -- presumably because they're using some of those tools.

Hourly billing rates of $300/hr make law a juicy target for technical disruption.
