IT advances will commoditize law practice - UK lawyer/author
Posted October 24th, 2007 by DCT
British lawyer/consultant Richard Susskind, OBE, argues in an upcoming book that "the market is increasingly unlikely to tolerate expensive lawyers for tasks (guiding, advising, drafting, researching, problem-solving and more) that can equally or better be discharged, directly or indirectly, by smart systems and processes. It follows that the jobs of many traditional lawyers will be substantially eroded and often eliminated. At the same time, I foresee new law jobs emerging which may be highly rewarding, even if very different from those of today."
