I don't actually know what most of the work in today's legal industry comprises, (by what metric?) but in a discussion like this, it seems like people are thinking of Perry Mason or LA Law, whereas I'm thinking of document review, bates stamps, software like Relativity or proprietary document management systems. Deduplication, and search queries. If the best search technology dominated, why wouldn't Google have already taken over years ago? I know that's what I used to wonder. At least a few years ago, there seemed to be a lot of talk of disgruntled lawyers who turned to document review for low wages and miserable working conditions because they couldn't find "real" work. Can AI do that - for legal reasons, which after all, were why those lawyers got hired in the first place? Weren't the US based teams already replaced by offshore teams? How much can be gained now?
