Summary

The third chapter considers whether advocacy as it has been practised in our courts for centuries can survive the challenges which it now faces. Is Professor Richard Susskind correct in saying that because of the demands of justice and efficiency, and the opportunities offered by technological developments, oral advocates will be – and should be – “eliminated” from the legal process (save for exceptional cases) as “people do not really want you. They want the outcomes you bring”? This third chapter presents a more positive view of the future of oral advocacy.
