Richard Susskind Named Special Envoy for Justice and AI in the Commonwealth

In July, legal tech expert and futurist Richard Susskind was appointed as the special envoy for justice and artificial intelligence to the Commonwealth. Susskind, known for his insightful analyses on the future of the legal profession, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in enhancing access to justice. “The biggest competitor for law firms in the future, I say, is AI-empowered clients,” he remarked in a recent discussion. The appointment comes as Susskind co-edits a new book, “Computers & Law: The First 50 Years,” with Mark O’Conor, celebrating the Society for Computers and Law’s 50th anniversary.
