Tomorrow’s Lawyers & The Naked Lawyer

Tomorrow’s Lawyers

Tomorrow’s Lawyers: An Introduction to Your Future published by Oxford University Press, UK, January 2013. ISBN 978-0-19-966806-9

Tomorrow’s Lawyers (2013) is Professor Richard Susskind’s latest book about the future of legal services, wherein he predicts that legal markets will be further liberalized, with new jobs, and new employers, for lawyers.

Tomorrow’s Lawyers is a guide to this future for young and aspiring lawyers, and for all who want to modernize our legal and justice systems. It is delivered in three distinct parts:

1)     a revised and updated vision of Richard Susskind’s future of legal services reflecting back on his previous books

2)     his predictions for the new legal landscape, the future for law firms and the shifting role of in-house lawyers

3)     his suggestions as to what are the likely roles, skills and prospects for aspiring lawyers, and supplies young lawyers with penetrating questions to put to their current and future employers

Tomorrow’s Lawyers (2013) is very much about WHAT we can expect the role of lawyers to be like in a very different legal landscape where Professor Richard Susskind envisages it is set to change more radically over the next twenty years than over the last two hundred.
