BUSINESS WORLD — Among the biggest struggles of the law profession gearing towards the future is the fact that most law schools today tend to remain traditional and generate “20th-century lawyers” when the world logically requires “21st-century lawyers.” This is according to Richard Susskind, who is among the most cited authors in the world when it comes to the future of legal services. Mr. Susskind asserts that modern lawyers must be able to meet demands for lower-cost legal services that are conveniently available and that can be delivered electronically. He predicts that in the next decade, significant changes can be observed in the legal sector along with the potential transformation of the court system globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has been expediting the process as virtual lawyering becomes more common (sending of documents via email, consultations and meetings are facilitated through video conferencing sites/apps, and bail reviews and hearings at times are held on virtual settings). Moreover, virtual learning has emerged as the new pedagogy in legal practice and education. This is true in the case of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education or MCLE.
