The Future of Law - Facing the Challenges of Information Technology (Paperback, New ed)

By far the best book about implications of IT for legal practice and the administration of justice. Lawyers will become information engineers; latent legal markets will be liberated; non-lawyers will have direct access to legal guidance, information and the progress of particular cases; IT will enhance participation in law-making, interdisciplinary professional services, dispute-prevention and risk-management. Susskind, a leading expert, is strikingly optimistic, but tempers his futurology with lawyer-like caution by concentrating on the potential uses of existing technology. Clear, enthusiastic, occasionally mind-blowing, this is a stimulating and accessible book for both lawyers and laypersons. (Kirkus UK)

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.
