Not a lawyer. My thinking is very likely naive as I have no experience in this matter.

I see two potential issues:

- Picking evidences. "Evaluating" the law might need access to all the possible evidences that could exist, but that would certainly never be true, so you'd need someone to know which evidences to present. You probably cannot rely on some interactive process asking you such and such evidences because it would be presenting evidence that would trigger evaluations of chunks of laws. I would guess a lawyer with good knowledge of the law would probably be needed for this.

- Setting precedents. Wouldn't the "automated" law evaluation run into unprecedented cases all the time? You'd need someone to constantly issue a verdict on unforeseen situations all the time, and I guess you'd need a judge for this.

Maybe it could work on many "trivial" cases though.
