Benjamin Alarie holds the Osler Chair in Business Law at the University of Toronto, is a faculty affiliate of the Schwartz Reisman Institute and the Vector Institute, and is CEO and co-founder of the legal AI company Blue J. His new book, Superjustice: Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, was published this summer by Oxford University Press.
He wrote it with Samuel Becher, a friend from Yale Law School, where they were graduate fellows together more than twenty years ago. It follows The Legal Singularity, written with Abdi Aidid, which grew out of a short 2016 article Alarie published in the University of Toronto Law Journal.
In conversation with the Schwartz Reisman Institute he describes personalized law, rules tailored to a person’s circumstances, and argues that legal scholarship has tilted too far toward pessimism. Of the book’s vision he says legal scarcity will give way to abundance.
