This will, therefore, create new and intriguing opportunities for employment in the legal world, and so members of our generation will have great success as we will be accustomed to using such 'high-tech' and 'modern' devices with our skills and experience. Therefore, incredibly different types of law firms, in terms of practice areas and business models, will begin to emerge.So what roles will lawyers have in these new, diverse law firms? Some will be specialists in industries we are not aware of yet. Some will continue to serve regional companies or run niche law firms that have a specific focus to a worldwide audience. Others will focus on producing law technology programs to make the industry more efficient and make millions doing so. Whilst others will continue following the dated billable hour for complex legal advice.In terms of the industries that will be prevalent in the future, the author believes that climate change will be of even more crucial importance so a knowledge of the energy and technology fields will be important. Moreover, due to rising sea levels and the possibility of lands being uninhabitable due to increasing temperatures, immigration law could also be a pressing issue.What is clear though despite the potential inaccuracy of these predictions is that there will continue to be significant opportunities for lawyers to have an impact on the world and for those who wish to make the world a better place.</blockquote>
