Abstract
Zmiany są nieuniknione, a często uciążliwe. Jest to szczególnie widoczne zarówno w zawodach prawniczych, jak i edukacji prawniczej. Zmiany bywają destrukcyjne, stosowanie natomiast proporcjonalnych środków prowadzi do skutecznej zmiany. Opracowanie i wdrożenie właściwego kierunku zmian w edukacji prawniczej jest trudne ze względu na spadek popytu na absolwentów kierunków prawniczych i ograniczenia strukturalne, które sprawiają, że dostosowanie się do zmieniającego się rynku jest bardzo trudne. W USA podaż nowych absolwentów przekracza dostępne możliwości zatrudnienia. Jednocześnie liczba ubiegających się o przyjęcie na studia prawnicze spada, co podważa wysiłki wielu uczelni, by utrzymać poziom jakości nauczania i kondycji finansowej. Nowe technologie i techniki zarządzania projektami stale zwiększają efektywność wykonywania zawodów prawniczych, co tym samym zmniejsza potrzebę osobistego zaangażowania prawników w czynności zawodowe. Osoby niewykształcone w zawodach prawniczych coraz częściej podejmują się zadań tradycyjnie rozumianych jako role prawników, co zmniejsza zapotrzebowanie na prawników. Rynek edukacji prawniczej reaguje spadkiem tempa wzrostu, spadkiem liczby zajęć uniwersyteckich, redukcją zapisów, ale także innowacjami, które zmniejszają koszty edukacji oraz reformami programowymi. Te często dokuczliwe zmiany stwarzają nowe możliwości rozwoju, a ci którzy najszybciej rozpoznają owe możliwości i efektywnie je zaadaptują, będą najlepiej usytuowani w świecie pełnym zmian.
