AI is coming for the transactional work long before it will come for litigation. In 50 years, nobody is going to have a human write their will, for instance.

[NoboruWataya → henryfjordan]

Writing a will isn't really "transactional", there is no negotiation involved. And wills are already a highly commoditised legal product. (So I agree with you that will drafting is ripe for disruption by LLMs, but don't think this indicates a broader disruption of transactional work or the profession generally.)

"Transactional" is a term of art in the legal field. Basically it represents the side of the field that isn't litigation.

50 years is way too long a time horizon to predict much of anything

You surely mean <1 year. Hell I'd probably trust Fable/Astra right now and save myself the expense.

In 50 years time 95% of legal complaints will be decided by AI
