alt Hacker News> The need for actual lawyers will persist I think from my own experience
This doesn’t replace lawyers, but paralegals surely will be affected. A good enough model could shrink the number of paralegals needed in a firm.

As costs for legal work drop we might expect demand for that work to increase. For example, it may be the case that legal help becomes accessible to entire segments of the population that had no access previously.
A lot of paralegal work has already been eliminated by intake automation. OCR and text-to-speech kicked things off.
