Oracle Text

State-based actions don't apply to you or other permanents you control. (You don't lose the game due to having 0 or less life or drawing from an empty library. Your creatures aren't destroyed due to damage or deathtouch and aren't put into a graveyard due to having 0 or less toughness. Your planeswalkers aren't put into a graveyard if they have 0 loyalty. You don't put a legendary permanent into a graveyard if you control two with the same name. Counters aren't removed from your permanents due to game rules. Permanents you control attached or combined illegally remain on the battlefield. For complete rules and regulations, see rule 704.)

Your planeswalkers remain on the battlefield even if they have no loyalty counters. (704.5i)

You won't choose sector designations for creatures that don't already have them if a permanent with space sculptor is on the battlefield. If this comes up, it'll be a true galaxy brain moment. (704.5u)

Rules Lawyer's ability doesn't apply to itself. It can die for any number of reasons. If you're at 0 or less life and you lose control of Rules Lawyer, you'll immediately lose the game.
