The best case is that lawyers feel the pinch, because that’s maybe the only way we’re ever going to see real legislation to protect people in this area. As long as automation is seen to largely hurt people on the bottom of the totem pole, there will be hand-waving galore. The moment it starts to bite people who see themselves as indispensable and important, especially the people who are most of the lobbyists and politicians, that will end. |

Probably not; while lots of legislators (and lobbyists) were trained as lawyers, protecting the jobs of people who actually practice law isn't really something that shows any evidence of being a priority in that class; in fact, a large majority of them spend much of their time railing against practicing lawyers as a class.
Unless the political and electoral calculus forces them to adopt protections (to which the threat to practicing lawyers is pretty much irrelevant), don't expect any action.
