About the Book
Justice delayed is justice denied. Courts are backlogged, legal help is out of reach for billions, and rigid rules struggle to keep pace with modern life. Superjustice argues for redesigning that system rather than digitizing it: law as a dynamic, responsive framework built for human flourishing, in which
- Justice becomes a universally accessible service, not a luxury for the few
- Legal gridlock gives way to responsive, data-driven solutions
- Communities gain real power through hybrid decentralized governance models
- Personalized law adapts to individual circumstances while maintaining fairness
- Human wisdom and AI capabilities combine to deliver outcomes impossible for either alone
Neither utopian fantasy nor dystopian warning. The book carries the argument through to implementation: what has to change in legal education, in professional roles, and in institutional structure to make justice abundant rather than scarce.
One of the book’s concrete designs, offered to be argued with: publicly provided AI legal agents, a right on the model of the public defender, paired with an automatic balancing mechanism under which any party deploying sophisticated AI representation against an unrepresented opponent must ensure comparable representation for that opponent. The proposal, and the objections to it.
A follow-up collection, Beyond Superjustice, is in preparation: new papers responding to each chapter of the book and carrying its analysis forward, with a workshop in Hong Kong and a symposium in Toronto in 2027.
Before then, the Jerusalem Review of Legal Studies is convening a symposium on the book, with five commentators, at Bar-Ilan University on 29 December 2026; their contributions are planned for publication in the journal.
