What is Glass Half Full : The Decline and Rebirth of the Legal Profession about?

The Hits Keep Coming For The American Legal Profession. Law Schools Are Churning Out Too Many Graduates, Depressing Wages, And Constricting The Hiring Market. Big Law Firms Are Crumbling, As The Relentless Pursuit Of Profits Corrodes Their Core Business Model. Modern Technology Can Now Handle Routine Legal Tasks Like Drafting Incorporation Papers And Wills, Reducing The Need To Hire Lawyers; Tort Reform And Other Regulations On Litigation Have Had The Same Effect.

It Would Be Easy To Look At These Enormous Challenges And See Only A Bleak Future, But Ben Barton Instead Sees Cause For Optimism. Taking The Long View, From The Legal Wild West Of The Mid-nineteenth Century To The Post-lawyer Bubble Society Of The Future, He Offers A Close Analysis Of The Legal Market To Predict How Lawyerly Creativity And Entrepreneurialism Can Save The Profession. In Every Seemingly Negative Development, There Is An Upside. The Trend Towards Depressed Wages And Computerized Legal Work Is Go
