A clear, forward-looking guide to how courts and public justice systems are moving online, what ODR means for access to justice, and how practitioners can prepare for the ‘resolution revolution’.

Description

Today, conventional legal practices coexist with technology-driven legal services. Online Dispute Resolution explores how digitalisation is transforming court-administered justice and how disputes are increasingly resolved remotely via ODR. Written by Dr Max Barrett, a judge of the High Court of Ireland, the book argues that public justice systems are transitioning to offer fair, online access to a fundamental human right: justice.

Readers will learn about:

  • The ongoing transformation of legal services and the changing nature of court-administered justice.
  • The worldwide shift toward online dispute resolution (ODR) and remote processes.
  • How traditional courts are evolving as justice moves onto digital platforms.
  • Access-to-justice implications of e-justice and its potential to broaden inclusion.
  • The future trajectory of public justice systems as digital solutions scale.
