I don't believe the project has the goal of eliminating lawyers in the world. The goal, I think, is to produce semi customized contracts from modular and parameterized components without lawyers. Lawyers today build up a cache of legal documents that they stingily dole out to clients who pay. Most often these documents are poorly written, often being copied from older documents passed down to them from older wiza... I mean lawyers, and then extended primarily by slapping on provisions and enumerations as they come up or are thought of.

If instead we had a standard library of contract components that could be composed in verifiably compatible ways, that would be a huge achievement. I think that's what legalese is doing.
