Samuel I. Becher and Benjamin Alarie's book Superjustice: Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, releasing July 30, 2026, from Oxford University Press, contends that AI is already reshaping legal systems, but institutions remain unprepared for deeper changes. While AI-assisted drafting and generative tools are in use, the legal system, designed for a pre-digital era, is slow and inaccessible. The authors argue that merely adding AI to outdated structures is insufficient; instead, they propose 'Superjustice' as a personalized, data-driven, and participatory framework to improve accuracy, efficiency, and equity in legal outcomes. The book addresses risks like data governance, transparency, privacy, and legitimacy, warning that AI will soon outperform human lawyers and judges. Positioned within AI for Government, it urges legal professionals to develop AI competence not for adoption's sake, but as a necessary preparation to shape the future deliberately rather than be overtaken by it.
