this technology wont hurt legal employment because it enables so many more lawsuits. every document on earth holds potential tort value that can be exploited now. after discovery its still a manual process to litigate so the number of attorneys should rise.
- kovar 16y agoEnhancing the quality of automated review tools will significantly reduce the number of lawyers employed doing sweatshop style review. Just because a technology might enable more lawsuits (which I am not certain is the case here) doesn't mean more lawsuits will be filed. Oftentimes, finding evidence causes parties to settle rather than go to court. Further, the existing courts can only handle so many cases per year. You can't suddenly up the throughput on the court system.
