If I were tasked with defending the position that the Ministry of Justice's research priorities allow a government roundtable on legal AI, I would emphasize the value of thematic alignment and the momentum that such an initiative brings to the legitimacy of a formal discussion. However, I must underline that influence is fundamentally conditional, depending on proactive political will and concrete budget decisions.
For example, even if the Ministry of Justice emphasizes the importance of unregulated legal services, the Legal Services Board must obtain official authorization and funds to realize its roundtable proposal, which is not automatic.
