[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big Law partner here:  at least in the near term, I think AI is going to make paralegals more not less important, since you need someone to verify whatever the AI outputs.  Longer-term, it might replace all of us, who knows. Probably will. But one foreseeable medium-term future is a practice dominated by senior attorneys working with paralegals, and the junior/intermediate ranks largely automated away by AI.  From a “will I have a job” perspective, paralegal seems to me as good a bet as any, particularly since you don’t need to incur massive loan debt like many lawyers do to take a shot at it. [/quote]

I was going to say the same thing.

For a ton of careers your ability to seamlessly utilize AI and its advanced functions will become the number #1 job skill since the experienced folk probably won’t become “fluent” but will absolutely tear you a new one if a junior person allows mistakes to slip through.

In theory, it may also impact the law firm business model if clients expect you to complete work 50%+ faster (though they may give you 2x the work).[/quote]
