Yes. Also, there's a spectrum of legal work, from bread-and-butter conveyancing and wills, to appellate litigation.

The work that is truly straightforward can be automated... and is. For example, in Australia at least, you can get a DIY wills pack.

The essential need for humans in legal work is integration: relating a fact situation with relevant laws. The fact situation is not pre-recorded according to a grammar - and the semantics of the law are not precisely defined. Both aspects and their connection are far more flexible and ambiguous and uncertain than any IT integration. Possibly similar complexity though.

tl;dr we'll have automated IT integration long before we have automated legal work.
