  • 032 - Legal Technology and Access to Justice

    What role could technology play in Access to Justice?

    This week we are joined by Miguel Willis and Simon Boehme to explore the relationship between Access to Justice and Legal Technology. How are Social Justice and Access to Justice related? What steps can we take to ensure that we build inclusive technology?

    The blog post we keep referring to was written by Miguel in March 2018 and is one of the catalysts for having this conversation: "Technology to Improve Access to Justice" Fallacy Read Part 1 and Part 2

    And when they have questions about Indigenous Law, it would be really helpful if they would ask themselves if they would ask that same question of Canadian Law. - Val Napoleon

    Access to Justice Technology cannot be built in a lab. - Simon Boehme

    I saw opportunities and gaps within our systems and structures where people could be harmed and a reoccurring theme through all of these systems and structures is the opportunity for people to practice oppressing other people. - Rhea Settles

    When you throw a technology solution to solve that problem you only get to the point of proceduralness. - Miguel Willis

    Powerful questions, possibility questions invite us to invite our clients and parties in dispute to just take what is going on a little bit differently, to change it up. - Cinnie Noble
