What is the correlation between the AI era and legal work?

‌
The day before the Chuseok holiday
I am writing this random post while looking over 2,000 pages of criminal case records
that I had to photocopy after coming into the office.
Personally, I do not find the outlook that lawyers will struggle in the AI era very convincing.
First, the tasks I handled today:
1. Submitting an investigative opinion for criminal complaint representation
While I received some assistance from AI, such as refining sentences,
the core framework—interpreting the attitude and tone of the investigating officer
based on my previous experience during the complainant's investigation
to submit an opinion tailored to that specific officer—is the domain of humans.
2. Drafting a grounds for appeal for a criminal appellate case involving the review of 2,000 pages of criminal records
People might not know because they rarely have reason to visit courts or detention centers,
but a surprising number of people experience trials as defendants in criminal cases.
Visiting a client in a detention center to provide psychological stability
and presenting litigation strategies with confidence
are things that belong to the human domain.
Conclusion
Unless the judicial system itself undergoes a radical transformation,
the AI era is not a crisis but an opportunity for lawyers, as legal work is actually becoming more efficient.
