To do so, we will abandon the profession and become business persons. Most attorneys will see technology as largely irrelevant, or worse, as complicating. They will cling to the notion that they are needed for the expertise they possess. They will go the way of the dinosaurs and the stock brokers. Hit by the bullet train of technological change.
Rapid change is a fact of life, for better or for worse.
And fundamental change is upon us. The challenge is to anticipate the change and act. The changes we have already seen are just the beginning. Ultimately, we will see the demise of the lawyer as we know him and her today. I believe it is better to see the train coming and decide to jump on board or get out of the way.
