As artificial intelligence moves deeper into courtrooms, law offices, and intake centers across the United States, one attorney-turned-technologist is making the case that accountability in law cannot be outsourced to an algorithm.
Sophia Snomi, founder of VerdictAI, has launched a scholarly book titled “The Supervised Attorney: Professional Liability, Legal AI, and the Boundaries of Machine-Assisted Practice,” published by Lambert Academic Publishers. The book is now available on Amazon and other major e-commerce outlets.
Snomi brings direct practice experience to the subject. Before founding VerdictAI, she served as Legal Counsel at Chocolate City Group, one of Africa’s largest entertainment companies, where she handled commercial agreements and international licensing matters.
She later worked on regulatory compliance and governance at Nigeria’s Border Communities Development Agency before earning admission to the Texas Bar and joining Thomas J. Henry Law, one of the state’s largest personal injury firms. Working inside a high-volume litigation practice gave her firsthand exposure to the operational and ethical gaps that AI systems are now being deployed to fill.
That experience is what sets the book apart from existing legal AI literature.
