Tomorrow's Lawyers is divided into three parts. The first is an updated restatement of Richard Susskind's views on the future of legal services, as laid out in his previous bestselling works, The Future of Law , Transforming the Law, and The End of Lawyers? . He identifies key drivers of change, such as the economic downturn, and considers how these will impact on the legal marketplace. In the second part, Susskind sketches out the new legal landscape as he predicts it, including the changing role of law firms, and in-house lawyers, with virtual hearings and online dispute resolution. The third part focuses on the prospects for aspiring lawyers, predicting what new jobs and new employers there will be, and equipping prospective lawyers with penetrating questions to put to their current and future employers.
This new edition has been fully updated to include an introduction to online dispute resolution, Susskind's views on the debates surrounding artificial intelligence and its role in the legal world, a new analysis of new jobs available for lawyers, and a retrospective evaluation of The Future of Law , Susskind's prediction published in 1996 about the future of legal services.
This is the essential introduction to the future of law for those who want to succeed in the rapidly changing legal landscape.

It's applicability extends beyond just the USA, but to other less-developed jurisdictions, who are catching up to the huge developments that have, are and will happen in the future.
What was most surprising to me was the fact that the author is not a "doomsday prophet" in respect of losses of jobs in the legal profession; but rather re-focuses the types of jobs that graduates of law programmes across the world might be directed into.
