There is no doubt that technology is changing the paralegal profession. Gone are the days when a paralegal sifts through dozens of books to find that key case to cite in a brief. We no longer fight traffic on the way to the clerk's office for that last-minute filing. Document productions are paperless and kept in the cloud. For many of the tasks that used to take hours, we can now say "there's an app for that."

Are these advances in technology making a paralegal's job easier or are they going to reduce the lawyer's need to hire as many paralegals?
