Reviews for Lawyer 3.0: A Guide to Next-Wave Lawyering
‘A must-read. An astute explanation of how technology is quickly transforming law—not just for lawyers, but for the millions of people lawyers are currently failing to serve.’ James Sandman, University of Pennsylvania 'A clear vision of where the legal profession is headed in this era of massive economic and technological disruption, and a road map for lawyers, clients, and educators trying to manage the journey. When it comes to lawyers and what they do and clients and what they need, it is a timely and much-needed synthesis of the specific and the systematic.' Michael Madison, University of Pittsburgh School of Law 'Brescia’s latest work reinforces his reputation as a shrewd, well-informed, and insightful analyst of the most relevant modern trends in the legal profession.' Daniel B. Rodriguez, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
