McBride reminds us that, prior to 2020, “it was uncommon to appear remotely for a hearing within the same state the hearing was to take place.” After all, if tasks once handled by paralegals are now carried out in mere seconds by generative AI solutions, can law firms really justify traditional billing strategies?

Last century, that typically meant delegation to paralegals. From anecdotal evidence – hearing Big Law friends talk, reading, and attending conferences – I thought the numbers would be lower.
