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. 73 my special guest is Dr Anne Wallace, Adjunct Professor La Trobe University and Deputy Director Sir Zelman Cowen Centre. We discuss:
- what first prompted Anne’s interest in technology and court processes;
- court innovations from the 1990’s and how those initiatives have progressed;
- how courts and lawyers have adapted to the pandemic;
- how close we are to a virtual court;
- advantages of audio visual links for providing evidence and what should determine whether it should be adopted more broadly;
- what currently informs court strategy and what should do so;
- court surveys and what they uncover;
- the potential for courts and researchers to work together to develop indicators to measure people’s experience;
- the potential for apps and SMS messages to assist litigants given the proliferation of mobile phone usage;
- automate and enable people to do preliminary work paired with intelligent assistance – CRT;
- the opportunity for lawyers to use technology to diversify their services and tap into the latent legal market;
- why the Victorian court’s response to the pandemic didn’t surprise her;
- courts’ awareness of the need for ‘innovation’ and the relevance of that language;
- how working with an architect and other disciplines provided Anne with new insights;
- changes in the mindset of members of the legal industry and Judges;
- how legal education could encourage multidisciplinary engagement;
- Anne’s predictions about technology in courts as we move through the pandemic;
- Imaginative dispute resolution in overseas jurisdictions; and
- Anne’s definition of legal innovation.
