Litigation Officer
Litigation officers help lawyers prepare cases for court. They manage paperwork, research the law, gather evidence, and make sure everything is ready for the judge to make a fair decision.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
