Hey, Juniors: Look Out for Outsourcing?

Ron Friedmann posts at Prism Legal about outsourcing, linking to a recent  round table discussion on outsourcing  at Law Practice Today.  I've also discussed the topic briefly here at  MyShingle.  Does your firm outsource?  And if you are a starting associate, do you fear that outsourcing may eventually jeopardize your raison d'etre at a firm.  There's been lots of commentary in the blogosphere on outsourcing, some from the solo community, which has discussed, for example, whether patent outsourcing might displace solo IP lawyers.  But to me, it seems that outsourcing poses the greatest risk for junior associates engaged in document review and more ministerial tasks.  So how about it -- are you juniors afraid of the outsourcing trend?
