Go to business school unless you truly love the law and have always wanted to be an attorney. Nowadays unless you graduate from a top 25 school and in the top 20% of your class, your options are limited if you're hoping to be cashing biglaw checks.

Even then, breh needs to go to a Top-25 business school. Anything beyond that is a waste of time.

This doesn't seem like a L for Lawyers, it looks like a L for paralegals, and back office workers in banking ( IT, Administrative assistant, research, etc).

Feel bad for them.
It is. My mom's coworker says she know works for 4 different lawyers in her firm and she barely has enough work to do to cover her billing charges. Most of the things people paid lawyers for (going to court or filing paperwork) can be done online and for free.
The Gates taxation of robots and algorithms is going to need to be implemented

exactly. the only reason I put lawyers in the thread title is because the title of the article says "JPMorgan Software Does in Seconds What Took Lawyers 360,000 Hours". not paralegals, lawyers.

those 360k billable hours disappearing has to have an effect.

There's more to being a lawyer than this, if anything it makes their job easier?

Automation will come for almost everyone.
Some parts of I.T ain't being touched for decades. :youngsabo:

For I.T support? Probably reduce the amount of personnel needed.

Programmers? Some time away too.

Basically. I'd take it a step further and would only go to one of the top 14 or 15 law schools. Law school kids call it the T-14. Going into law is a dangerous route. My friend did it at a state school and now he's struggling to find a legal job and he's sitting on 100,000s of debt. He didnt have to go to law school because he went to a prestigious undergraduate school but, like alot of people he thought that was the path to go. IMO, law schools shouldn't be allowed to charge $50,000 or $70,000 a year when 80% of their graduates can't find jobs as attorneys.
It's all about connections and privilege too.
