Over 4,000 lawyers lost their positions at major American law firms
in 2008 and 2009. In The Vanishing American Lawyer, Professor
Thomas Morgan discusses the legal profession and the need for both
law students and lawyers to adapt to the needs and expectations of
clients in the future. The world needs people who understand
institutions that create laws and how to access those institutions'
works, but lawyers are no longer part of a profession that is
uniquely qualified to advise on a broad range of distinctly legal
questions. Clients will need advisors who are more specialized than
many lawyers are today and who have more expertise in non-legal
issues. Many of today's lawyers do not have a special ability to
provide such services.
While American lawyers have been hesitant to change the ways they
can improve upon meeting client needs, lawyers in other countries,
notably Great Britain and Australia, have been better at adapting.
Law schools must also recognize the world their students will face
and prepare them to operate successfully within it. Professor
Morgan warns that lawyers must adapt to new client needs and
expectations. The term "professional" should be applied to
individuals who deserve praise for skilled and selfless efforts,
but this term may lead to occupational suicide if it becomes a
justification for not seeing and adapting to the world ahead.
