InThe introduction to Transforming the Law Professor Susskind supposes that the development of the World Wide Web has created a population of people who read in short digestible chunks, leaving the “cover-to-cover experience” uniquely for readers of fiction novels. If this is indeed the case, then this book is ideally suited to such a reader, being a collection of Susskind’s own brand of legal IT strategising and crystal-ball-gazing in self-contained and comprehensive chapters. Readers who have heard Susskind speak will recognise some proportion of the various essays. However, the book does also provide an extremely comprehensive collection of his thinking on developments in the practice of the law at many different levels.

Legal Writers

This article reassesses the history and future of the law review in light of changing technological and academic conditions. It analyzes why law reviews developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and describes how three different waves of criticism have reflected shifting professorial, professional and pedagogical concerns about the genre. Recent editorial reforms and the inauguration of on-line services and electronic law journals appear to solve some of the law review's traditional problems, but the author suggests that these procedural and technological modifications leave the basic criticisms of the law review system unmet. In this context, the author proposes that legal writers self-publish on the World Wide Web, as he has done in an extended version of the present piece. This strategy would give legal writers more control over the substance and form of their scholarship, would create more opportunities for spontaneity and creativity, and would promote more direct dialogue between legal thinkers.

Textual Research

A prominent jurist once described the law as a “seamless web.” This description of linked knowledge actually applies to all fields of scholarship and investigation, and it is not only lawyers who experience the need to move through the library constantly, each open text citing another or suggesting another avenue of inquiry. The pile of open books on the library table, and the constant recourse to catalogue and stacks, epitomize the image and the process of textual research, both for the advanced scholar and for the school-child writing her first essay. Computers clearly have the capacity to enhance the quality of our lives, but in my opinion their contribution to library reference work lies chiefly in this: to liberate us from the “up-and-down-and-fetch” mode of research as well as the “scissors-and-paste” method of text revision. This liberation is promised today in the hypertext features of all Windows-based or icon-clicking applications in use now, particularly with the incorporation of graphics and images, be they decorative or illustrative, from Netscape creatures to art, archaeology, or architecture.
