If you haven’t heard, the 2020 Report on the State of the Legal Market published by The Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center and Thomson Reuters Legal Executive Institute, states that “Fundamental Shifts Are Disrupting the Legal Market.” It’s the title, as a matter of fact, and every legal publication in existence has published an article about the report with effectively the same title.
