If you mean that some lawyers use paralegals to do word searches for potentially-relevant case law (i.e., published judicial opinions), that might be true. But in my experience, good lawyers either do the raw research themselves, or at a minimum they use junior lawyers to do the initial searching for case law, then do supplemental searching themselves based on their experience.
