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.
