The lawyer's explanation for this is usually that law is the kind of subject that requires one person to centrally have access to all the facts. A distributed system won't work, unless it has shared memory which, given the fact that we're dealing with people instead of computers, isn't possible.
Think of it like surgery: would you want the brain surgeon to tap out after an 8-hour marathon session for the next guy coming in? No, because the guy who just worked 8 hours has intimate knowledge of everything relevant to the surgery in progress. The same is the case with law suits.
At least... if my friends who are layers are to be believed :)
