Asked how legal issues may change under the influence of technology, Richard Susskind, a futurist for the legal profession, sees lawyers’ roles as being part of a solution, but not the solution itself.
Lawyers “have to stop thinking of problems as only legal,” Susskind told attendees of the Clio Cloud Conference 2014 in Chicago on Monday. Working on a new book with his son, Susskind said, he is coming to believe that problems must be solved in a “multidisciplinary” fashion involving professionals in different areas of expertise.
