@OmarHaRedeye @TRULaw_SLS #newlaw “Justice moves quickly now that they’ve dispensed of lawyers” – Doc Emmet Brown — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

“The social context of the law is everything” @OmarHaRedeye #trulaw #newlaw

@OmarHaRedeye @TRULaw_SLS The obstacles to exciting future change are the existing legal institutions we have; law firms trapped in the past

@OmarHaRedeye If you don’t want to work 90 hrs/wk, there are at least 12 that will, and will take your job! “Mass reserves of unemployed” — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

@OmarHaRedeye White collar jobs prediction that 47% of total US jobs could be automated and taken over by computers by 2033 @FortuneMagazine

@OmarHaRedeye The legal system is so broken that lawyers cannot afford themselves. Politicians aren’t going to fix this. Are we? @TRULaw_SLS — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

Are lawyers in the face of technology = to the blacksmith in the face of the automobile? @OmarHaRedeye @MEKowalski @richardsusskind

— Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

5 years ago social media was a death sentence to your legal career. Now it can be the greatest boon you can have. @OmarHaRedeye @TRULaw_SLS — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

Lawyers are being trained as wagon builders when we should be thinking up the automobile. @OmarHaRedeye #trulaw #newlaw

@OmarHaRedeye As lawyers, we aren’t just a business. Your duty to your pocket is balanced w/duty to client, and to the court.#trulaw #newlaw

— Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

@OmarHaRedeye PI is probably the most lucrative area of the law. It has quickly become one of the biggest targets for ABS.#trulaw #newlaw — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

@OmarHaRedeye There is no more concerned field with ABS that PI lawyers. They have the most to lose, independence wise, and the most profits

#TRULaw students discuss pros and cons of ABS. @OmarHaRedeye is leading a great discussion on #futureoflaw. pic.twitter.com/NnkFEfKa3s — James Wegener (@JamesWegener) March 3, 2015

“We are all licensees” @OmarHaRedeye speaking about how paralegals are now a huge part of the legal service providers in Ontario @OBAtoday

Law Practice Program – simulated clients, cases, etc. Future of articling? @OmarHaRedeye @OBAtoday — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

I’m really feeling the gaps in my education…thanks @OmarHaRedeye :P

Lawyers could just be better – would that not result in protection of our industry, of our standards? @OmarHaRedeye @TRULaw_SLS @Tesh_D — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

Get involved with Blogging. Practitioners don’t have the time to research and write the same papers that students can #trulaw @OmarHaRedeye

— Kenneth Taylor (@KennethMTaylor) March 3, 2015

“I was blogging throughout law school. It helped me make many of my connections.” @OmarHaRedeye #trulaw — James Wegener (@JamesWegener) March 3, 2015

@OmarHaRedeye Think you should B-law-g, so does @TRULaw_SLS and so do I! Ideas on display #trulaw #futureoflaw

@OmarHaRedeye Thank you very much for coming and speaking to us about the future of law today! Food for thought. #trulaw #newlaw — Greg von Euw (@gvoneuw) March 3, 2015

@TRULaw_SLS @OmarHaRedeye We did indeed have a blast! Looking forward to what you, and our class, are going to do for the future of law!
