ODR: How Courts Are Moving Online — Law’s Future in the Digital Age
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is no longer experimental. Around the world, justice systems are redesigning processes so that people can file, manage and resolve disputes online. Online Dispute Resolution: Law’s Future in the Digital Age by Max Barrett offers a crisp, court-level view of what this transition means for rights, procedures and access to justice.
Why ODR, why now?
Digital processes reduce cost and time, broaden access for remote users, and standardise caseflow. They also raise key questions about due process, digital inclusion and user experience. Barrett addresses each of these themes with UK/US examples and comparative insights.
