Tomorrow's Lawyers

In 'Tomorrow's Lawyers: An Introduction to Your Future,' Richard Susskind outlines the radical changes anticipated in the legal market due to technological advancements, liberalization, and the 'more-for-less' challenge.

The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the drivers of change and strategies for success; the second part sketches the new legal landscape, including the future for law firms and in-house lawyers; and the third part focuses on the prospects for young lawyers, new jobs, and necessary training.

Susskind argues that the future of legal services will involve online courts, AI-based global legal businesses, and new legal jobs, and he challenges the next generation of lawyers to harness technology to improve and overhaul current legal practices.
