The future of the lawyer?

Richard Susskind’s new book on the future of law addresses the threat to legal profession in the rise and rise of technology. Will the profession react or respond?

In an interview with ‘Legal Week’ Susskind said “The law firms that survive and thrive are those that will refocus their people”.

What are the implications for lawyer wellbeing in the face of this change? This is a subject of my presentation at the Law and Society Association conference in New Orleans in June 2016.
