Much has been written about the pace of change facing the legal
industry - how certain law firm functions are being replaced by
artificial intelligence and new types of service providers, how
accounting firms are looking to absorb and replace law firms, and
how merging into worldwide mega firms of 3,000 to 10,000 lawyers is
the only way to survive. Steve Jobs and others have called this
evolution "creative destruction". Richard Susskind referred to it
years ago as "the end of lawyers". It is true that the legal market
is facing massive change. Technology, new ways of working,
alternative methods of billing, and highly disruptive new entrants
have all made their mark on the traditional legal business model.
The Future of Law Firm Business Models takes a look at all these
trends and more, horizon-scanning for future developments, and the
ways in which these issues will fundamentally change the market.
Created by programmers from the mid-90s onwards and launched by
technology disruptors in 2008 on the back of the biggest corporate
failings in trust and honesty the modern world has seen, Blockchain
collects facts as diverse as Wikipedia and churns them out as
randomly as Alexa in a playschool. Heralded as the next big thing,
blockchain has the potential to radically change the way lawyers
work, and even threaten their very existence. So, what is it, and
how does it work? This book, featuring opinions and experience from
some of the most knowledgeable thought leaders on the subject, aims
to cut through the hype and explore the many different facets of
blockchain, and what it will mean for the legal profession.
As I worked through my Master of Adult Education degree program, I
witnessed each of my teaching classrooms evolve into learning
communities. My rationale for focusing on a collaborative,
experiential, self-directed learning model is threefold. First,
education experts highlight that these types of learning lead to
higher levels of thought than does individual, teacher-centred
learning. For example, Johnson, Johnson, and Smith (1991) and
Gokhale (1995) identifies that collaborative learning fosters the
development of critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity
skills. Rogers (1969) acknowledges that learning will occur when
students participate in the learning process, when they have
control over its nature and direction, and self-evaluation is the
principal method of assessing progress or success; and, Knowles
(1975) recommends that every act of teaching should have built into
it some provision for helping the learner become more
self-directing. Second, as a business manager for 20+ years, I have
learned that if employees want to be successful, they must learn to
set goals, take initiative, and work as partners in their
employment ventures.
