Share Your Opinion with your Colleagues How
will your Legal Practice Change in the next 10
Years?

• It wasnt that many years ago that we didnt have
  all the sophisticated tools of our profession to
  manage our practices and lead us into the future.
  Back in what might seem like the Stone Age,
  lawyers somehow managed to meet their many
  challenges without the Internet, smart phones and
  other digital technologies. And there was even a
  time when attorneys had to juggle their caseloads
  in the absence of sophisticated Legal Case
  Management software programs from software for
  law firms and others. What will the coming decade
  have in store for us? Will technology respond to
  our changing needs with tools that are even more
  critical to our survival than those we use now?

• What impact will globalization have on your
  practice? Will there be major changes in how we
  recruit the brightest minds to our law firms? Do
  you anticipate that youll have to engage in new
  marketing strategies and tactics in order to
  attract new clients? Will you become more
  involved with social media to get the word out to
  your existing clientele and potential new clients
  about your services? Back in 1997 an article in
  the Florida Bar Journal identified key trends in
  the legal profession. In no particular order of
  importance the article lists the following
• A dearth of skills training programs for
  beginning attorneys
• An increase in the number of paraprofessionals
  and legal technicians to assume some of the tasks
  previously undertaken by attorneys

• A growing number of individuals who undertake pro
  se litigation
• The greater impact of technology on the
  profession
• An increasing reliance on alternative dispute
  resolution , and
• A marketplace challenged by a glut of attorneys
  attempting to serve far too many clients who
  could not afford to pay for legal services.
• How do the challenges you face in 2014 differ
  from those identified in the 1997 article? Do
  many of them remain the same? And do you
  anticipate that you will encounter a whole new
  set of challenges 10 years from now?
• Shift into your Nostradamus mode and weigh in
