Yes the superintelligent AI could out-lawyer everyone else in the courtrooms if it wanted to. My background assumptions would more be that the AI develops nanotech, and can make every lawyer court and policeman in the world vanish the moment the AI sees fit. The human legal system can only effect the world to the extent that humans listen to it, and enforce it. With a superintelligent AI in play. This may well be king Canute commanding the sea to halt. (And a servant trying to bail the sea back with a teaspoon).
You don’t really be considering the AI openly defying the law.
Even if H was compelled, under court order, to instruct A to behave in some way, it’s not clear that A would follow the order.
Everyone H dislikes drops dead at the same instant. H is now living in a giant moonbase, which of course has offensive and defensive capabilities far beyond human tech. Self replicating nanobots, programmed to only obey instructions cryptographically signed by A, now hide in every square meter of the earth. At a moments whim, H can tell A to produce just about anything, just about anywhere. An army of giant marshmallow monsters roam the land. An impressive feat of nanotech indeed, to make a substance that resembles marshmallow so closely, yet is animated like muscle. H thought it would be funny.

(I realized the second H in that blockquote should be an A)
