al_caan··on A high schooler writes about AI tools in the classroom
as someone running HireParalegals.com (largest platform for hiring law talent), i can tell you we’re not seeing any slowdown in demand.

Firms are still hiring paralegals in big numbers, even with all the new AI tools around. the reality is ai can draft or summarize, but it doesn’t replace someone who understands procedure, catches nuance, and keeps a case on track. in practice, lawyers lean on paralegals more than ever.

Precisely what they’re attempting with us.

But we won’t give into their fear tactics.

They can throw SLAPP suits all they want.

I say bring it on!

Absolutely. When people try to silence and sensor you, it's a sign they're threatened by what you have to say. And we've got nothing to fear as long as we speak the truth.

These are common scare tactics by large investor backed organizations, to try and make all possible competition disappear. They especially target small, bootstrapped businesses like ourselves that are more favored by entrepreneurs for their low-budget hiring requirements. And Toptal knows that we'll never be able to battle them out in courts. So they try to enforce fear to silence us.

It's not going to work this time. I won't be silenced.
