Will the future of law need lawyers? The Legal Watercooler

Technology changes the way we do things, and sometimes it's really hard to let go of the way things have always been done. Add lawyers to the conversation–who have been trained that precedent is pretty much everything–and we have the next best thing since oil met water. I want to introduce you to a term that you most likely have heard of, have an idea of what it is, and are most likely wrong. What pops into my mind are state appointed criminal defense attorneys. What I have discovered is that my concept of "access to justice" was really limited to the narrow definition.
