on Susskind's vision of access to justice in the online future

Personally I think that free access to legal materials on line (which we have had for years) or even access to basic legal advice online will no more spell the end of lawyers than access to the same sort of material has spelled the end of doctors. The service has not been about privileged access to information for decades, it is about applying an informed judgment to a problem.
