The End of Lawyers?
Rethinking the nature of legal services
Summary:
The book explores the future of the legal profession in the face of advancing technology, predicting significant changes in how legal services are delivered and suggesting that traditional lawyering will evolve due to pressures from alternative service providers and increasingly sophisticated legal software. It challenges lawyers to adapt by embracing new methodologies, such as automated document assembly and online dispute resolution, to meet the changing needs and expectations of clients.
Key points:
1. Legal Service Standardization: Susskind notes a shift towards making legal services more uniform and affordable, challenging the old custom-tailored approach of law firms.
