From the Publisher:
"In 1996, in his award-winning book, The Future of Law, Richard Susskind claimed that the law would be transformed by IT. The book generated enormous interest and influenced public policy-makers and strategic planners in law firms around the world. Many of its predictions have already come to pass." "In this new collection, Susskind presents his latest ideas and also lays out the main themes of his work over the past 20 years." "Part I focuses on the way in which the Internet is transforming the delivery of legal services. Weaving together his thinking on electronic commerce and on knowledge management, Susskind introduces two innovative models - The Grid and the Client Service Chain - to help lawyers and clients plan for the future." "In Part II, Susskind revisits The Future of Law, summarizing its central arguments, updating the main themes, clarifying the impact of his ideas on lawyers, and replying to key objections by critics." "In response to the current upsurge of interest in commercially exploiting expert systems in law, Part III re-presents Susskind's original research and development work in this area." "In the final part of the book, Susskind looks beyond legal practice to the justice system more generally, concentrating on the impact of IT on judges, the courts, and society."--BOOK JACKET.
