- Summary:
- For Richard Susskind, best-selling author of The End of Lawyers?, the future of legal service will be neither Grisham nor Rumpole. Instead, he predicts a world of virtual courts, Internet-based global legal businesses, liberalized markets, commoditization and outsourcing, web-based simulated practice, and new employment opportunities. This book is a definitive introduction to this future-for aspiring lawyers, and for all who want to modernize our legal and justice systems. It offers practical guidance for everyone intending to build careers and businesses in law. Book jacket.
