From warnings of a graduate jobs crisis to predictions that artificial intelligence will reshape the profession, law students are being bombarded with reasons to worry about their future. But one recent law graduate says much of the alarm is nothing more than “fear mongering” – and believes the outlook for aspiring lawyers is far brighter than many headlines suggest.
In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Sai Muthukumar, a paralegal with Gilbert + Tobin and the Attorney-General’s Department, about the recent headlines suggesting law graduates are struggling to secure entry-level roles, argues that much of the narrative is “fear mongering”, and explains why aspiring lawyers should remain confident despite the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and technological disruption.
