ohn Alber, Technology Partner at Bryan Cave, reached out to me within hours of the conclusion of last year’s ILTA conference to propose an in-depth look at the law firm of the future. His enthusiasm first
reached my BlackBerry while I was awaiting my flight home. Fueled by his own passion for leading change, John saw an opportunity for ILTA to educate our members and support them through the ten years ahead, as John predicts a sea change in law firms. Thus was born Law2020TM
.
With a small bit of trepidation, I began to outline the possible content for this publication, our magazine that launches the Law2020 initiative across several years and multiple media. Who are the visionaries? How can we paint a picture of the future that is engaging and instructive? And what about that future –– what exactly is in store as we mark the years between now and 2020?
My contributors came through with flying

leadership over the next ten years. I appreciate David Hill’s “curmudgeonly-crafted” article, which provides a thought-provoking view of the future that is different from John’s. The many folks who will be instrumental in leading us toward a solid future are bylined in this edition of Peer to Peer, and I salute them all.
This magazine is notable in many ways: it is
the largest we’ve ever produced; it is unique in terms of content, with many authors accepting my challenge to write from a future perspective; it provides truly outstanding thought leadership; and it is full of “fun” ideas, as well. I know you’ll enjoy reading every page for years to come. Check out our new themed crossword puzzle, movie review and book review –– content that will be staples of the magazine each quarter. As with all things ILTA, the future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades!
