Abstract
We are witnessing tremendous changes in the legal services market. Today, entirely new ways of delivering legal services and completely new legal professions are emerging. New technologies empower law companies to develop new business models and new ways of dealing with clients.
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to address previously unmet customer needs, wants and demands.
The article aims to provide an account of the new developments in the legal industry brought about by profound social and economic changes. The study presents disruptive technologies that substantially enhance the way law companies work. Stages in the evolution of the legal services market in common law countries are described: trends towards standardization, “packetization” and commoditization of legal services are identified. Similar trends are revealed in the development of the Russian legal services market.
Issues of incorporating this knowledge in the English language classroom are discussed. The need to develop a new set of lawyering skills is highlighted
