    In its first and second editions, Tomorrow's Lawyers became an international bestseller, widely read and cited by practitioners and students. The third edition focuses on the law and lawyers in the 2020s.

    For Richard Susskind, the future of legal service is neither Grisham nor Rumpole. Instead, he predicts a world of online courts, AI-based global legal businesses, disruptive legal technologies, liberalized markets, commoditization, alternative sourcing, simulated practice on the metaverse, and many new legal jobs. This volume is a definitive and updated introduction to this future - for aspiring lawyers, and for all who want to modernize and upgrade our legal and justice systems. It offers practical guidance for everyone intending to build careers and businesses in law.

    Written in an era of greater technological advance than humanity has ever witnessed, this work is a call to arms: it challenges those who feel that the law and lawyers are somehow immune from technological advance; it draws attention to the unaffordability and inaccessibility of legal service, for businesses and citizens alike; it invites the next generation of lawyers to harness the power of technology in improving and even overhauling the way in which legal and court service is currently provided.

    Tomorrow's Lawyers identifies new opportunities for lawyers, new ways of helping clients and the community. It enjoins its readers to become involved in building the systems that will replace outmoded forms of legal work. It argues that it is both a privilege and an obligation for tomorrow's lawyers to embrace and bring about change.

    A must-read for legal undergraduates, aspiring and young lawyers, senior practitioners, leaders in law firms and legal businesses, law professors and law teachers.

  • "Review of Tomorrow's Lawyers: 'In Tomorrow's Lawyers, Susskind achieves what very few people attempt and hardly anyone achieves, namely to predict the future in a complex field, in an inspired, credible, and engaging way. Nobody has better credentials to write about the current and future effects of the ongoing electronic and economic revolution on the rule and practice of law." - Lord Neuberger, Master of the Rolls

    "Review of Tomorrow's Lawyers: 'Aimed at an audience much in need of optimism, hope and insight, Susskind has produced a concise, readable and thought provoking guide for young lawyers on how to think about their future." - Professor David Wilkins, Harvard Law School

    "Review of Tomorrow's Lawyers: 'For years, Susskind has challenged lawyers to reinvent the way we work. Now, in Tomorrow's Lawyers, he presents his clearest picture yet of what the future has in store." - Hugh Verrier, Chairman, White & Case

    "Review of Tomorrow's Lawyers: 'A must-read for anyone interested in the future of legal services. Insightful, thought provoking and challenging, Susskind has clearly identified the inexorable forces that will drive change." -David Allgood, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Royal Bank of Canada

    "Review of Tomorrow's Lawyers: 'Susskind's best book yet, Tomorrow's Lawyers unleashes with explosive energy the disruptive trends liberating the legal industry from centuries of conservatism. An enjoyable read that lights up the future." - David Morley, Senior Partner, Allen & Overy

    "Review of The Future of Law : 'This book is of immense importance to everyone concerned with the future of the justice system. The opportunities which information technology bring to the law are difficult for the great majority of lawyers including judges to comprehend. It is vital that we do. Richard Susskind's remarkable insights should be read by every judge, lawyer, law teacher and law student." - Lord Woolf

    "Review of The Future of Law: 'Like so many other fields, the legal field needs some new thinking. This book performs a very valuable service in showing why and how information technology not only makes possible some new thinking but also demands it." - Edward de Bono

    "Review of Transforming the Law: 'At the intersection of law and information technology - a place of both opportunity and risk - no one sees as clearly, thinks as cleverly, or writes as compellingly as Richard Susskind. Transforming the Law is a masterful guide to this challenging landscape." - Michael Mills

    "Review of Transforming the Law: 'Professor Susskind has had profound influence on the practice of law in the past decade. These essays provide a good indication of his power of analysis and of the originality of much of his thinking." - Financial Times

    "Review of The End of Lawyers?: 'This book paints a scary future. But as a call to arms, to embrace the future, it lays down a challenge for lawyers everywhere for we have no birthright, no power to avoid development, to 'freeze the frame'. Susskind makes a most persuasive case that the 'incremental revolution' has already arrived; so join it or be left on the wrong side of the barricades." - Stuart Popham

    "Review of The End of Lawyers?: 'Richard Susskind's predictions of 1996, in The Future of Law, can now be seen to be coming to pass. I am confident that those in this new work, where he looks even further into the future, will likewise come to pass, given the extraordinary depth of knowledge, analysis and reasoning he has brought to bear and which this book demonstrates on every page." - Lord Saville
