Everything. Drafting correspondence, pleadings discovery, discovery responses. Reviewing all of the same. Reviewing depositions, drafting deposition outlines.

Everything that is “word processing,” and that’s a lot.

Well that's terrifying. Good luck to them.
To be honest, much of contract law is formal boilerplate. I can understand why they'd want to move their role to 'review' instead of 'generate'
So, instead of fixing the issue (legal documents becoming a barely manageable mess) they’re investing money into making it… even worse?

This world is so messed up.

Arguably the same problem is occurs in programming: Anything so formulaic and common that an LLM can regurgitate it with a decent level of reliability... is something that ought to have been folded into method/library already.

Or it already exists in some howto documentation, but nobody wanted to skim the documentation.

They have no lever with which to fix the issue.
Why not just move over to forms with structured input?
