"I think that the growth in technology will allow menial services currently handled by lawyers to be done online by consumers themselves because it will be cheaper. For example, incorporating a business is something that someone usually hires a lawyer to do, but the lawyer usually does not do any of the work, all they do is outsource it. Things like this I think will in the future be done by cutting out the middleman lawyer."

"I think that law practice will be more technological. Lawyers will be able to send documents much faster via technology and there will be less face time actually arguing in court."

"Computers will replace lawyers. The computer will be able to take depositions and research certain cases with a click of a button."

"I think that with the advancement of technology, such legal professionals, like paralegals, might be replaced with computer software."

"Just as they already have in backgammon, checkers, and chess, computers are expected to surpass even the best human poker players within a decade. They can already beat virtually any amateur player."
