Tomorrow's Lawyers predicts that we are at the beginning of a period of fundamental transformation in law: a time in which we will see greater change than we have seen in the past two centuries. Where the future of the legal service will be a world of internet-based global businesses, online document production, commoditized service, legal process outsourcing, and web based simulation practice. Legal markets will be liberalized, with new jobs for lawyers and new employers too. This book is a definitive guide to this future - for young and aspiring lawyers, and for all who want to modernize our legal and justice systems. It introduces the new legal landscape and offers practical guidance for those who intend to build careers and businesses in law.

Tomorrow's Lawyers is divided into three parts. The first is an updated restatement of Richard Susskind's views on the future of legal services, as laid out in his previous bestselling works, The Future of Law , Transforming the Law, and The End of Lawyers? . He identifies key drivers of change, such as the economic downturn, and considers how these will impact on the legal marketplace. In the second part, Susskind sketches out the new legal landscape as he predicts it, including the changing role of law firms, and in-house lawyers, with virtual hearings and online dispute resolution. The third part focuses on the prospects for aspiring lawyers, predicting what new jobs and new employers there will be, and equipping prospective lawyers with penetrating questions to put to their current and future employers.

This new edition has been fully updated to include an introduction to online dispute resolution, Susskind's views on the debates surrounding artificial intelligence and its role in the legal world, a new analysis of new jobs available for lawyers, and a retrospective evaluation of
The Future of Law , Susskind's prediction published in 1996 about the future of legal services.

This is the essential introduction to the future of law for those who want to succeed in the rapidly changing legal landscape.

Product description

Review

As Susskind has pointed out for more than 20 years now, technology is having a profound effect on the world around us. Lawyers who fail to acknowledge this fact and adapt accordingly will undoubtedly pay the price. Don't be one of those lawyers. Educate yourself about the changes, their impact, and then do everything you can to adjust course. If you feel overwhelmed by the prospect and aren't sure how to go about it, never fear, I've got some advice for you: buy this book. It's a great place to start. ― Nicole Black, Law Technology Today

"...all members of the legal profession and those thinking of joining should read this book very carefully because the subject-matter will not be going away for any of us."-
Phillip Taylor, MBE,The Barrister

Book Description

From the bestselling author of The End of Lawyers?, this book predicts fundamental and irreversible changes in the legal world and offers essential practical advice for those who intend to build careers and businesses in law.

    This book was a most enlightening read! It gave depth of the insight the author has in terms of legal "business/practice development"; and is a book that every attorney, who is looking at his/her future in the profession, should read.

    It's applicability extends beyond just the USA, but to other less-developed jurisdictions, who are catching up to the huge developments that have, are and will happen in the future.

    What was most surprising to me was the fact that the author is not a "doomsday prophet" in respect of losses of jobs in the legal profession; but rather re-focuses the types of jobs that graduates of law programmes across the world might be directed into.

    I bought this as a starting point for a conference on AI that i attended. It is a brilliant book- it addresses a lot of ideas about tomorrow’s lawyers and I honestly think it should be mandatory reading for year 1 students. I felt cheated by my uni having discovered this at the end of my degree, but not all is lost.

    The brilliant and well-grounded predictions contained in this book, particularly, on the outsourcing of legal services and future development of AI, are a must read for any lawyers in private practice and in-house. I would suggest it also to people in legal tech industry or anyhow connected to legal services. It is well written, never boring and goes straight to the point, so it gives with little effort and time, a clear view of the most important distruptive changes to expect in the future.

    Leitura altamente recomendada para a nova geração de advogados e para aqueles que já atuam há mais tempo. As previsões podem parecer assustadoras inicialmente, mas muito do que é levantado no livro aconteceu durante a pandemia. São especulações bem lúcidas sobre o futuro da profissão, aplicáveis às mais diversas jurisdições.
