C6 : In-court advocacy after COVID-19: do we need it at all?

The adversarial trial process, developed over hundreds of years, has been challenged by the pandemic. The use of video technology and online filing has transformed how court business is done. What are the long-term implications? Can online courts bring justice to people who cannot afford litigation today? Will there still be a place for in-court advocacy and how must the profession rethink its training and approach to disputes? The session will examine the experience of on line juries, and the abandonment of jury trials altogether in some jurisdictions during the COVID 19 pandemic.
