As someone unfamiliar with "what lawyers actually do", it does feel like a big part of what more junior Lawyers do (primarily on the research through older case law) could be major my helped by AI.
Is there something I'm missing in that?
The technical part of lawyering is the least important part, most of the time. The most financially successful lawyers I know probably do get efficiency gains by having AI make up fake caselaw for them (and billing 8 hours for the research anyway).
