so they eliminate your talent pipeline and cut down on billable hours? is this good?

Not good for the law firms, but great for the rest of us!

		same amount of work, more capability per person. More competition, lower wages

I want to minimize billable hours, yes. Lawyers are insanely expensive, to the point of being inaccessible to most.

A family member works as a paralegal, and they have way more work than they can deal with. Their estate people have 70 cases per person that are mostly waiting on people to have time to work on them. Speeding this up can mean more billable hours quicker, depending on how the speedup works, and then they can just take on more cases.
