Chances are if you’re a paralegal or a junior lawyer entering the field, you’d rather spend your time doing other things than scanning documents for clients’ names or other mundane information. New artificial intelligence systems designed specifically for law firms can help remedy that situation by automating some of these lower-level jobs.

Why it matters: Although some entry-level paralegal jobs could be replaced by automation, AI systems cannot replicate the creativity, empathy, and argumentative reasoning required of a lawyer — so your lawyer won’t be replaced by a robot any time soon. Furthermore, these AI advancements could open new, more fulfilling opportunities for aspiring lawyers to break into the field in a role that is more closely aligned to what they would do in the court room or when working with clients.

What’s next: Deloitte predicts 116,000 legal jobs will be lost to automation in the next 20 years.
