The Future of Legal Services

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, liberalized markets, commoditization and alternative sourcing, disruptive start-ups, legal training in virtual reality, and a new range of law jobs. Based on his experience as independent adviser to major professional firms and to national governments he will reflect on how the greatest technological advance that humanity has ever witnessed affects the way legal services are provided in the future. He will also touch on the unaffordability and inaccessibility of legal service, for businesses and citizens alike. Richard Susskind will not only identify new opportunities for lawyers, new ways of helping clients and the community, but also invite 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. He argues that it is both a privilege and an obligation for tomorrow‘s lawyers to embrace and bring about change.
