A must-read for lawyers, those considering a career in the legal industry, and anyone interested in the changing legal function. Unlike most other legal industry scribes, Susskind holistically and deftly weaves together the disparate threads of the legal mosaic that will collectively transform the legal function as we know it.

Far and away the best analyst and predictor of the evolution of the legal marketplace is Richard Susskind.

American Bar Association Journal

Already established as a classic, this book should be required reading for all law students and their teachers. It needs to be if law schools take seriously our role as stewards of the rule of law. Susskind is serious, smart and a passionately systematic thinker.

Susskind issues a rallying cry to the legal profession to release untapped potential, painting a compelling picture of a new legal landscape that is already emerging. On the topic of the future of lawyers, no one is more thoughtful, more client-centred or more passionate.

As a reader, Tomorrow's Lawyers made a lasting impact, evoking thoughtful reflection on the transformative power of technology in the legal field.

Charis Tan, Marcus Liew, ICC Bulletin.

In its first and second editions, Tomorrow's Lawyers became an international bestseller, widely read and cited by practitioners and students. The third edition focuses on the law and lawyers in the 2020s. For Richard Susskind, the future of legal service is neither Grisham nor Rumpole. Instead, he predicts a world of online courts, AI-based global legal businesses, disruptive legal technologies, liberalized markets, commoditization, alternative sourcing, simulated practice on the metaverse, and many new legal jobs. This volume is a definitive and updated introduction to this future - for aspiring lawyers, and for all who want to modernize and upgrade our legal and justice systems. It offers practical guidance for everyone intending to build careers and businesses in law. Written in an era of greater technological advance than humanity has ever witnessed, this work is a call to arms: it challenges those who feel that the law and lawyers are somehow immune from technological advance; it draws attention to the unaffordability and inaccessibility of legal service, for businesses and citizens alike; it invites the next generation of lawyers to harness the power of technology in improving and even overhauling the way in which legal and court service is currently provided. Tomorrow's Lawyers identifies new opportunities for lawyers, new ways of helping clients and the community. It enjoins its readers to become involved in building the systems that will replace outmoded forms of legal work. It argues that it is both a privilege and an obligation for tomorrow's lawyers to embrace and bring about change. A must-read for legal undergraduates, aspiring and young lawyers, senior practitioners, leaders in law firms and legal businesses, law professors and law teachers.
