Written by a leading expert on computers and law, this important new book shows exactly why and how information technology (IT) will radically alter the practice of law and the administration of justice. Beyond automating and streamlining traditional ways of providing legal advice, IT is re-engineering the entire legal process, resulting in legal products and information services whose focus will be dispute pre-emption rather than dispute resolution, and legal risk management rather than legal problem solving. With easy and inexpensive access available, IT will help integrate the law with business and domestic life. This book considers the implications, opportunities, and challenges for all concerned in the information society. The IT revolution cannot be ignored, and this book is essential reading for all those who would successfully adapt to the changes and challenges IT brings.

Susskind has specialised in legal technology since the early 1980s, has authored 9 books and is a regular columnist at The Times newspaper. Susskind has more recently furthered his research to cover the professions more generally and his latest book, co-authored with Daniel Susskind, predicts the decline of today"s professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them.
They argue that the current professions are antiquated and no longer affordable and explain how "increasingly capable systems" will fundamentally change the way that professional expertise is shared.
They propose 6 models for producing and distributing expertise in society. Susskind chairs the United Kingdom Civil Justice Council’s Advisory Group on Online Dispute Resolution, which published a report in February 2015 recommending the establishment of Her Majesty’s Online Courts (HMOC).
The report recommends HMOC consist of 3 tiers, Online Evaluation, Online Facilitation and Online Judges. According to the report, the benefits of HMOC would be an increase in access to justice and substantial savings in the cost of the court system.
