Connecticut’s own Fred Ury, along with Jordan Furlong, recently authored an article for “Bar Leader,” a publication of the American Bar Association’s Division for Bar Services. It is a short article but a thought-provoking one nonetheless.
In their article, Ury and Furlong single out three drivers of drastic changes in the legal services market. Globalization affects the legal services market in the same way it affects many other markets. Technology is an obvious driver. Form software allows potential clients with the inclination to “do-it-yourself” to handle at least some of their own legal work. Finally, regulation prevents some adaptation to this changing legal service market.
