Tomorrow's Lawyers predicts fundamental and irreversible changes in
the world of law. For Richard Susskind, best-selling author of The
End of Lawyers?, the future of legal service will be neither
Grisham nor Rumpole. Instead, it will be a world of virtual courts,
Internet-based global legal businesses, online document production,
commoditized service, legal process outsourcing, and web-based
simulated 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 the
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, and
the coming of 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 is the essential
introduction to the future of law for those who want to succeed in
the rapidly changing legal landscape.
