An article by Albert Barsocchini, Esq posted on the EDD Update website on the Corporate Counsel webpage.
The article discusses the future of the attorney review process, and looks at how technology provided through outside service providers is impacting law firms.
The article states, "What will become of the current field of attorneys that have become dependent on review projects to sustain their legal careers while they await more permanent employment? Will large firms continue to sustain massive contract review staffs, or will review specialists develop niche areas of skills, such as securities, or patent law?
Hard to predict, but events certainly point toward a contraction in the legal industry, with fewer jobs available to those who don't secure law firm employment upon graduation.
A problematic part of attorney review is the disparity between the function vendors provide for clients and the educational requirement expected of those who participate in the process, i.e. nobody went to law school to review documents on a computer all day."
