- [2939127-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2939127-034) [normative/argued] -- Law schools should educate lawyers who add value by helping clients and society adjust to the technological environment rather than lawyers who impose unnecessary or unwise restrictions on it, since such restrictions will not stop technological development anyway.

- [2939127-040](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2939127-040) [predictive/speculative] -- For the parts of dealmaking and other legal tasks that cannot be placed on a blockchain, the role of non blockchainable agents of trust may expand, and blockchain driven disintermediation of law may itself create additional legal tasks requiring human lawyers.
  > For the parts of dealmaking and the other legal tasks that are non-blockchainable, the role for other, non-blockchainable agents of trust may expand. It seems possible that the blockchain-driven disintermediation of law itself creates additional legal tasks that require human lawyer input.
