Legal Revolution: Skating Where the Puck Is Going
The legal profession stands frozen in time while technology transforms every other industry around it. In "Tomorrow's Lawyers," Richard Susskind delivers a wake-up call that has become required reading at Harvard Law School: the legal world will transform more radically in the next two decades than it has in the past two centuries. While most lawyers seek comfort in continuity, the future promises discontinuity - a fundamentally alien legal landscape where traditional models collapse and new opportunities emerge. For aspiring lawyers, the message echoes hockey legend Wayne Gretzky's advice: "Skate where the puck's going, not where it's been." The comfortable, traditional legal career path is vanishing, replaced by something both more challenging and more exciting. Are you prepared to practice law in a world that doesn't yet exist?
