Lawyers in the past served as counselors providing judgment and holding space for doubt rather than selling certainty.
With the industrialization of the legal profession due to the internet, legal advice became more productized and lawyers transitioned to being more efficient knowledge workers.
The shift towards automation of procedural tasks is allowing lawyers to focus more on the personal and relational aspects of their work, returning to the valuable role of providing counsel under pressure.
Despite the changes, the essence of legal counsel remains crucial in helping individuals navigate decisions and live with the choices they make, emphasizing the irreplaceable human element in providing advice.
