| Transforming the Law (Oxford University Press, 2000; paperback, 2003) |
| In this collection of essays, Susskind presents his latest ideas and also lays out the main themes of his work over the past 20 years. |
| Part One focuses on the ways in which the Internet is transforming the delivery of legal services. Weaving together his thinking on electronic commerce and on knowledge management, Richard introduces two innovative models - The Grid and the Client Service Chain – to help lawyers and clients plan for the future. In Part Two, he revisits The Future of Law, summarising its central arguments, updating the main themes, clarifying the impact of his ideas on lawyers and responding to key objections by critics. In response to the current upsurge of interest in commercially exploiting expert systems in law, Part Three re-presents Richard’s original research and development work in this area. In the final part of the book, Richard looks beyond legal practice to the justice system more generally, concentrating on the impact of IT on judges, the courts and society. |
