Will AI take my job as a Paralegal?

Not the title first. The Task Stack Test scores Paralegal at 82 out of 100, which reads as Recomposing. The score is illustrative: it reflects how the tasks are structured, not a forecast about any employer. What still needs you: Procedural judgment, provenance of evidence, and handling the exception nobody planned for.

Q: What should a Paralegal learn next?

Move toward the work that has to be verified, decided and answered for. For a Paralegal that means: AI evidence review, workflow audit, and translating machine output for clients. Keep what still needs you: Procedural judgment, provenance of evidence, and handling the exception nobody planned for.

Illustrative score. It reflects task structure, not a prediction about your employer.

82/ 100 RecomposingThe role is being rebuilt around you. Move first.

This is not a warning about the future. The task mix has already changed, hiring has already changed, and the title is the last thing to update. The fastest exits are sideways: adjacent roles that need your domain knowledge plus AI direction.
