This edition makes Susskind's highly-acclaimed and best-selling book available in paperback, and includes a new and substantial preface by the author. His prize-winning book demonstrates why the future of the law is digital. It shows why and how IT is radically altering and will alter further the practice of law and the administration of justice. Beyond automating and streamlining traditional ways of providing legal advice, IT is re-engineering the entire legal process, resulting in legal products and information services focused on dispute pre-emption rather than dispute resolution, and legal risk management rather than legal problem solving. With easy and inexpensive access available, IT will help to integrate the law with business and domestic life. This book explores the implications, opportunities, and challenges presented by the information society as it irrevocably changes how law will be practised and justice administered.
This is the story of a Southern White boy growing up in segregated
Mobile and his struggle to escape. In Part One the boy, a newly
minted ACLU lawyer in Memphis, encounters racism while seeking to
obtain justice for a Black youth beaten by police after Dr. King's
assassination in 1968. When threats against his family become
oppressive, he flees to the North hoping to carry on his quest for
justice. Part Two chronicles his attempts in Massachusetts to
address issues of the disenfranchised, poor, people of color, gays,
and the mentally challenged. In doing so, he confronts a North that
when stripped of liberal patina is as steeped in racism as the
South. This memoir is about that boy's journey away from the
society in which he grew up and his attempt to atone for guilt by
leaving Memphis before his young Black client obtains justice.
Written with humour and insight, this informal memoir is a
delightful celebration of the passions that have driven Simon
Brown's life. Whether recalling incidents from his early years as a
barrister (courageously breaking away from the family business) or
as Treasury Devil, or during the later stages of his legal career
(ending as a Justice of the Supreme Court) - or whether talking
about his family, telling us his golfing tales, or describing his
enjoyment of the Garrick and his many travels around the world - he
exudes a zest and delight in what he does and an affection for
those he works with and meets that is a deeply endearing
characteristic. Friendship is a constant theme, the pleasure he
takes in other people. It is this extraordinary energy and
enthusiasm for life that defines Simon Brown and lends this memoir
its huge attraction.
