Summary
Access to justice is a basic tenet of the legal system, and it extends beyond the ability to obtain entry into a building. It takes into account equal access to representation, programs, services, and careers. Technological innovations allow individuals to communicate in real time across geographical boundaries, to share and receive information in seconds, and bring communities together in open and secure environments. When that technology and innovation is applied to the legal community, how does its impact affect those trying to access justice and the legal community?
This judges fireside chat will provide judicial perspectives on the evolution of access to the legal profession and the courts. This discussion will touch on innovative approaches to bring the courts to the people, and the role of education and technology in support of access to both the system and within it with the goal of balancing the scales for all.
Topics include:
- Evolution of Access to the Legal Profession
- Landscape of Courts and Legal Services
- Access to Justice and Keeping the Scales Balanced
- How Technology is Revolutionizing the Law and Legal Services
Deloitte is pleased to host this discussion featuring the Honorable Michelle Rick, Michigan Court of Appeals, and Judge Jeanne Robison, Salt Lake City Justice Court, Utah for a panel discussion moderated by Doug Austin, Editor in Chief of eDiscovery Today.
