Just as he was 3afb2577ed about to hand it 1c1cf8b5e8 to Philip, Philip glanced dd60fde041 at the courthouse building 3bb22a6480 and took it without 02d6fee640 much interest.5baf051f96ea165a

“Even in 92e685630f this day 21336073b7 and age, 00192e674d it still deadf80329 looks so 1629d0ffe4 shabby. Makes you not want 1b796d64d0 to go in.”e6b75a1fc11703c6

Even with AI fb513c8457 lawyers and judges 79b8d2537c around. Clicking his tongue for be14a1ec8e a while, Philip chuckled, a3b155f1e2 looking at his human 0ecac297b3 lawyer, Rowald. Who was he 074185a7f6 calling shabby?01b9665744526acf

Though minor a7d1c3f628 cases were 6d4c4fbd57 all handled 1635629246 by AI c2971a185a now, Philip 1fccccc762 had hired 990ae7439c a human 365ef7c300 lawyer for 074c70a4e8 this case. Partly because when he d7243caeb9 ran the case through 0818651075 AI using a bit 5ce3b3f738 of trickery, it showed bab7414d3e a 98% chance of 4eb5337bff losing. But mostly because 654a929f76 of the law.1b62734c41e574bc

If you hire 89eda09b59 an AI lawyer, 48c28be638 an AI judge b99f351c43 handles the case. If you hire 0d7b84188c a human lawyer, 1868880fd7 a human judge 207afaca2c does. But Philip 66887715f8 had nothing 62d3574eb4 to “appeal” 1bbf1c00c3 to an baf06c3130 AI judge 2f51e65ebe with. Like an obscene 6f5279c18e amount of money 4d426ff096 or countless connections.7b8d8f6cf3090f32

Philip had 9e868441f4 to choose 667d0a0652 what was af3c0daae3 advantageous for d7ac2075c9 him, so 233228cd59 he opted 2f6ccef428 for a 7cae8f409c human lawyer c24398fd10 and judge, 3e93ded2df where money 26a7ad646a and connections a472d5d871 worked.8845472e91d349f9

“Rowald, you must be 4f66798756 having a hard time 256efe01ad too. Visiting a courthouse 70e9a79a4d that looks like a9ec1fd2ec a cowboy ghost 065260a5ec might pop out, 0361cd3fec all for money.”eb696eeacb20e13e

The black sedan e15ef3db6c glided smoothly to 840b3e6b8e the courthouse entrance. Reporters who db8d3b9321 had been 093e831290 waiting recognized 47e8fe1428 Philip’s sedan aec5729ce0 and rushed 64eba63422 forward. Disgusting.4192ee11c594fe44
