21/4/2009 - End of Lawyers?
"The End of Lawyers?" is a sequel to the legal bestseller, The Future of Law written by Prof Richard Susskind. In this book he poses a challenge to lawyers to ask themselves, what elements of their current workload could be undertaken differently - more quickly, cheaply, efficiently, or to a higher quality - using alternative methods of working. The challenge for legal professionals is to identify their distinctive skills and talents, the capabilities that they possess that cannot, be replaced by advanced systems or by less costly workers supported by technology or standard processes, or by lay people armed with online self-help tools.
