If you look at lawyers, you can see a narrow pipeline where there once was a wide funnel. People from top law schools and people who distinguish themselves early basically get groomed for partnership, and other lawyers have a hard time cracking 6 figures. I assume this will be the same for artists and software engineers too.
Aren’t paralegals going to get displaced by automated case law cross referencing systems doing the leg work for lawyers? I guess they would want to keep billing the most hours and use slow paralegals, while also using the automated systems to ensure their legal arguments are the best researched.
