For more than three decades, Richard Susskind has been one of the profession’s most prolific voices in support of implementing technology with legal services delivery. He’s the author of more than 10 books on the topic, and his next one will focus on technology in the courtroom.
In the next 20 years, Susskind estimates, the legal profession will see more change than what’s taken place over the past two centuries.
“The answer to the question of access to justice is not to make lawyers more affordable,” says Susskind, whose experience includes working as strategy and technology adviser to the Lord Chief Justice of England. The answer is to “fundamentally change the way the average person can have access to legal insight.”
