Technological innovation has taken on even greater salience in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic pushing programs to gather data, engage justice seekers and providers, and deliver results at a distance. While technology can indeed offer an important platform for ensuring more people-centred justice, it can also be a costly and unsustainable investment that does not connect to local realities. This keynote presentation by global justice innovator, Sam Muller, will speak to the need for a transformation in our thinking about how best to meet people’s justice needs. It will be followed by a panel discussion providing two ‘windows into practice’ of how technological innovation is being used to improve access to justice in the Indo-Pacific region.
Moderator: Lisa Denney, Co-Convenor, Australian Law and Justice Development Community of Practice
Keynote speaker: Dr Sam Muller, CEO, The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL)
Discussants:
The Honourable Sir Albert Palmer, Chief Justice of the Solomon Islands
