Reminds me of an old Sci-Fi story where in the future all the courtrooms
were computerized. The two opposing lawers would submit disks containing
case law to the computer. One lawer would present one case and the
opposing lawer would present a case that over ruled it. This would go back
and forth until one of the lawers presented a case that could not be over
ruled by the other.
