Reimagining Justice covers issues at the intersection of innovation, law and social justice and you will enjoy it if you’re someone who hopes to make a positive improvement to people’s experience of the law through new ways of thinking and doing.
In episode no. 90, my guest is Bridgette Toy-Cronin, Director, Civil Justice Centre, Co-Director, Otago Centre for Law and Society and Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Otago. We cover:
- The access to justice issues in Aotearoa New Zealand;
- Key aims of the ‘Wayfinding for civil justice’ project;
- How the project commenced at the start of the pandemic with a hui;
- The other jurisdictions the working group looked to for guidance on this project;
- How the project is doing two related but different things at the same time;
- Factors peculiar to Aotearoa New Zealand that are facilitating the entire process;
- The diversity of the working group, and which organisations have made submissions to the consultation process;
- Early findings about what will assist going forward;
- Funding sources for this stakeholder-led strategy, and for the recommendations;
- Gaps that have been identified through this work;
- Different approaches to legal innovation in Aotearoa New Zealand;
- The intersection of customary Māori law and the mainstream justice system;
- How Māori principles are influencing procedure including process in the District Court, mediation and dispute resolution;
- How ‘innovation’ and ‘technology’ are often conflated; and
- Bridgette’s definition of legal innovation.
