The Pocket Lawyer for Filmmakers: A Legal Toolkit for Independent Producers (Paperback)
Review
“…provides a readable map through the world of legalese and contract negotiations for any filmmaker interested in doing pretty much all his or her own producing legwork….It’s an excellent, potentially career-saving resource.” - Back Stage”Filmmakers need to do what they can to make sure that they cover all of their legal bases. The problem is that the task seems so huge and overwhelming, that most of us don’t even know where to start. This book does an excellent job of breaking it down for you: what you can do, what you need to do, and what you will need help doing.” - Microfilmmaker Magazine”While reading the book may feel like doing word problem after word problem, there’s no denying you’re smarter on Page 318 than you were on Page 1. It’s an excellent, potentially career-saving resource.” -Sam Thielman, Back Stage Magazine

The End of Lawyers?: Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services (Hardcover)
Review “Susskind remains the only writer today who can put the future of lawyers and the legal professions on the agenda at the highest levels of government, the judiciary, the legal institutions, major corporations - and law firms.” Charles Christian, editor, Legal Technology Insider “A wide-ranging book that is of value not only to lawyers contemplating their future, but to anyone whose work touches upon the law. Blending the futures of law and technology, Susskind’s vision is far-reaching and tightly-argued, showing the displacement that lies ahead — and the ways in which society can gain from it.” Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and author, The Future of the Internet “Richard Susskind has peered into the crystal ball and offers us a clear view of the future of the lawyering. His vision is based on his keen understanding of the role of technology in shaping our economy and our world. Some will be frightened by what he describes; the bold and the innovative will see a path to greater success in the future.” Mark Chandler, General Counsel, Cisco
The End of Lawyers? is the much-anticipated sequel to Richard Susskind’s legal best-seller of 1996, The Future of Law. Ten years on, and half-way towards the twenty-year vision he set out, Susskind takes stock of progress, introduces vital new emerging technologies, and envisages even more radical change to the legal world than before. This is a world in which, at least in part, legal services are commoditized, IT renders conventional legal advice redundant, clients and lawyers are collaborators under the one virtual roof, disputes are dominated by technology if not avoided in the first place, and online systems and services compete with lawyers in providing access to the law and to justice. For the conservative legal adviser, the message is bleak. For the progressive lawyer, an exciting new legal market emerges. This book continues the author’s focus on the effect of advances in information technology upon the law and legal practice, providing fresh perspectives and analysis of anticipated developments in the decade to come. In particular, he aims to explore the extent to which the role of the traditional lawyer can be sustained, in the face of the challenging trends in the legal marketplace and the new techniques and technologies for the delivery of legal services.

The Ultimate Guide to Your Legal Career: What Every Young Lawyer Must Know to Avoid the Mistakes and Maximize the Value of a Career in the Law (Paperback)
Review
“Cannon’s book reads like sound advice from a trusted older sibling. While The Ultimate Guide to Your Legal Career offers specific advice for the short term, it also asks young lawyers and law students to consider where they want to be further down the road. The book is more than just a primer on how to get a job; Cannon provides insight into how young lawyers can lay the foundation today for a happy and successful career many years from now. Most I importantly, Cannon describes what to do and what not to do in detail, rather than leaving the reader with the typical recitation of bromides and generalities.” — Timothy P. Peterson, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, former SEC Senior Counsel”I wish I’d had access to a book such as this when I was going through law school. Cannon’s truly unusual breadth of experience across different legal functions and practice areas gives him an extraordinary vantage point from which to comment on the profession. His book is replete with astute observations and practical advice.” — Eric John Finseth, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP“This should be required reading for all law students, young lawyers, and those considering a career in the law. Cannon’s book is chock full of practical advice and insider knowledge.” — Theodore N. Stern, Vice president and general counsel, ePals, Inc.
The world doesn’t need another book about how to ace law school. But prospective and young lawyers do need the information and insight in this book to equip them with the expertise to make the right choices and fully develop a legal career, from law school to the decades beyond. The Ultimate Guide to Your Legal Career offers a balanced and critical perspective on every issue relating to a legal education and the profession of law today, including: Factors to consider when deciding to become an attorney Getting the most out of law school, from working as a summer associate to taking the bar Answers to common questions about working with law firms, including average salaries and bonuses, billable hours, and whether size matters How to make partner, and the effect that obtaining it or not has on you, personally and professionally When and how to orchestrate laterals and avoiding the potential negative side effects Career alternatives to law firms and transitioning to another profession, such as banking, business, and the government
