Susskind Talk Focuses on Multidisciplinary Approach to Future of Legal Profession

The ABA Journal recently reported on a presentation given by Richard Susskind at the Clio Cloud Conference 2014 held last Monday in Chicago.  Susskind, who is the author of The End of Lawyers? and other books regarding the legal profession, encouraged lawyers to view the profession's challenges as more than simply legal ones, and to enlist the collaboration of professionals in other disciplines, especially information technology.  In his keynote address at the conference Susskind suggested, "there is game-changing technology that could be adopted tomorrow" at the small firm level to ensure small firms' future success.
