When answering the big and difficult questions in life, pop culture can be much underrated. And when thinking about the new legal landscape, what better place to start than Back To The Future – a favourite from my teens. When Marty McFly travelled far, far into the future (erm, to 2015), he found a new world of CCTV, biometrics and video conferencing. So far, so accurate. He also found that lawyers had been abolished.
So, we already know that the profession is in a period of intense change, but what will be the outcome? Is the end point a Back To The Future legal apocalypse, or can we be a bit more hopeful? It’s not easy to navigate or to see where it’s heading, even for those of us that are somewhere within it.
