From the perspective that models are trained by people with a lot of skin in the "game" of competent models, they do.
Not expressing an opinion when/how AI should contribute to legal proceedings. I certainly believe that judges need to respond both to the law and the specific nuances that the law can never code for.
Judges should have some amount of biases. A cold, calculating, unbiased judge in a world where laws are written by fallible humans would be terrible.
Judges should be able to apply judgement, not be merely automatons that sentence according to only the exact letter of the law.
Laws are not perfect, we need human judges.
Finally, if we are to submit ourselves to judgement by others, I gives me some comfort to know that the being judging me is equally mortal and can be deposed if necessary, as they are flesh and blood like me.
Not really. Ultimately it's just a job and a job without any tangible benefit to doing well.
Most regular folk that end up in front of a judge would do well to have a quick and predictable decision. It's months to years before things happen in court and are usually gated behind 10s of thousands in legal fees or a ton of effort. To have a judge bot available for a decision immediately is enormously beneficial.
