Perhaps, if you are the 1% of lawyers who are associates at big law firms doing appellate-level research. They basically the same job as law students do in LRW class, pulling hundreds of quasi-relevant caselaw from a massive database. That side of things has, in recent years, been outsourced overseas.

- akashizzle 12y agoYes, but this is a system that gives you unlimited queries for even cheaper than if you were to outsource research. And since it is a cognitive computing system, it gets better over time.
- rhino369 12y agoYou don't have to be doing appellate level research to have a need for pulling tons of caselaw. I doubt much of that has been actually outsourced. But its just not a huge part of the junior associate responsibilities. It is probably 1/10th or less of the job.
