The Info Age law firm

This paper is, in part, a response to Lewis, see ibid., September, p.8-10 (1995) which says that lawyers do not understand technology and therefore cannot keep pace with change. Lewis also states that technology will be based on speed and customization rather than legal rights. However, he neglects one theorem: where there is money to be made, there is usually someone to make it. In this regard, I submit that some law firms will not only survive in the Info Age but will even thrive and flourish, as survival of the fittest becomes a truism. A significant contributing factor will be superior technology that lets lawyers do more in less time. These law firms, however, may not have the same look and feel, as they do today
