[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your medium term scenario doesn’t make much sense.  Who is going to replace senior attorneys when they retire if there are no junior ones waiting in the wings [/quote]
AI will do it. Clients won’t even need to hire law firms. They’ll just ask ChatGPT how to handle their cases. Sure, it might hallucinate and make a fatal error with zero recourse for the clients, but the AI judge might hallucinate too! It’s fine.[/quote]
