You could get ahead of the game and become an SSA claims processor who rejects all the doc reviewer disability claims. Comes with health insurance and a pension.

As a litigator who pays for a combo of TAR and human review, it's really really hard for me to imagine human review will, in my lifetime, be phased out to the point this question will be a serious concern. I think some sect of clients will always be uncomfortable with exclusive TAR of their potentially privileged documents.

You don't go on disability just because your job doesn't exist anymore

Why on earth does anybody think they would get disability because they didn't develop marketable skills throughout their life? And this is someone who finished law school? I always feel like most lawyers I meet just aren't very smart, but, wow.

never said theyd “get” it but they will seek it becatse they are unemployable . I suggest being 50 and needing to go back to school and make a career change.

So long as you live within your means , if you work as a doc review temp you can live a pretty low stress life. Stress goes up if you work directly for a firm. I think their stress comes from realizing they aren’t marketable or worry about the next gig.

software will replace most but not all reviewers.

That depends on the situation, language, etc.

it will still eliminate the vast majority of positions meaning people who can’t get lawyer jobs won’t be able to do doc review after graduating. Those who have been doing it a long time will have even more problems .

These people have no marketable skills and would need to make a career change often involving going back to school. If they are middle age they might not want to do this and start looking at other options. It’s like why the SSA isn’t hiring now because people are scamming unemployment instead.

but eventually it will die out and ge replaced by TAR. For someone doing it so long you must realize you don’t have a marketable skill to get outside of doc review

There is always doc review because there is always litigation and discovery.

I have known someone for 14 years who had done this continually since before I met them.


They just wait for the next job through an agency, like all other temp work.
