♫ If you should see me walking
Through your dreams at night
Would you please direct me
Where I ought to be
I’ve been looking for a crystal ball
To shed the light
To find a future in me…
To find a future in me…♫

Lyrics and Music by: Tommy Shaw, recorded by Styx.

To say that we have been thru a tremendous time of change in the legal profession is a wee bit of an understatement. Furthermore I believe that the rate of change is accelerating. This means that the changes that are coming at us like a Tsunami are totally unprecedented.  New competitors, new business structures, new technology, new ways of resolving disputes, new ways of communicating, new devices and services…there is hardly a corner of the legal profession that will not be impacted.  Then there are all the pressures from outside the legal profession to increase access to justice and bring the legal system within reach of the man on the Clapham Omnibus.  Of course a tremendous time of change is also a tremendous time for opportunity.

Last year we heard from:

• Jordan Furlong
• Ross Fishman
• Sharon Nelson
• Ann Halkett
• Richard Granat
• Nicole Black
• Colin Rule
• Brian Mauch
• John Zeleznikow
• Michael Downey
• Robert Denney
• Mitch Kowalski
• Buzz Bruggeman
• Andrew Clark
• UnitedLex
• and yours truly!

It is precisely at this juncture that I am calling on my friends, colleagues and readers to submit their predictions for 2015 in order that all of us can benefit by the collective thoughts and gaze into the crystal ball to shed the light ..and see where we stand …in order to find a future in all of us..
