 ## A New Architecture for Justice
 
 I propose a radical restructuring of legal systems around AI-driven formal analysis. In this system, both parties would receive representation from the same AI system—one capable of exhaustively researching precedent, identifying all relevant arguments, and constructing logically rigorous cases. The same AI system would serve as judge, applying consistent logical analysis without the variability of human competence, mood, or bias.
+> **Addressing Institutional Pathologies**: This architecture directly addresses the [professional intermediary problem](game_theory_ethics.md#the-professional-intermediary-trap) identified in our institutional analysis. By providing identical high-quality representation to all parties, we eliminate the artificial scarcity that legal professionals use to maintain their gatekeeping position.

+> [conversational intelligence analysis](conversation_intelligence_paper.md), while the information environment
+> design needed to support it is explored in our [managed reality framework](managed_reality_paper.md).

 This approach preserves the adversarial process while eliminating its current inequities. Instead of competing based on resources or the luck of judicial assignment, parties would compete purely on the merits of their logical and factual positions. The AI would ensure that both sides' arguments are presented in their strongest possible form, then subject them to rigorous logical analysis.
