How do lawyers, judges etc. work with 1000+ pages long documents?

There‘s multiple things to help you.
Firstly, you should be really good at getting a general understanding of the text by skimming through it, and identifing the specific part that you need right now to read much more carefully.
Secondly, you hire someone to do tedious research work. During my time studying law , I worked at a law firm for one to two days a week. All I did was research court decision to a specific topic to identify which decisions are relevant to a question, and write abstracts of them, research academic literature to a specific legal question and write a summary of it, and the like.
I spent 10 hours working with 500 pages, so that the actual lawyers need only spend 1 hours reading the product of my work, if at all.
