Book Description:

In The Vanishing American Lawyer, Thomas Morgan discusses the uncertain future of the legal profession. While the world needs people who understand the institutions which create laws and how to access those institutions' works, lawyers no longer constitute a profession that is uniquely qualified to advise clients on a broad range of distinctly legal questions. Professor Morgan warns that attorneys may commit occupational suicide if they fail to see and adapt to new market needs and expectations.
