Review

This is a book that should be read by all lawyers, judges and academics, but above all by students of law, for it is their future about which he writes an intensely stimulating book that is well worth careful study. (Sir Philip Bailhache, The Jersey & Guernsey Law Review)

This concise book is a compelling glimpse into the near-future of legal services, and provides invaluable information for tomorrow's lawyers. (Colman Candy, Irish Times)

Susskind has a knack for taking complex and complicated issues and making them simple and easy to understand. He has a clear message for in-house lawyers: the legal world is changing; law firms are changing; and law departments must change as well. This book is worth reading - it will make you think. And, hopefully help you prepare for the future. After all, law departments must adapt to the changes going on around us. (Fred Krebs, Canadian Lawyer Magazine)

Tomorrows Lawyers is a worthwhile read for anyone involved in legal services and education, particularly if you have not read Susskind's previous books. (Joanna Goodman, The Law Society Gazette)

Far and away the best analyst and predictor of the evolution of the legal marketplace is Richard Susskind, the U.K.-based academic and futurist. If you're in any kind of management or leadership role in law (or you just care about your own career), I would say it's a prerequisite to read Tomorrow's Lawyers. (Paul Lippe, ABA Journal)
