In this episode of the ICODR podcast Ian speaks with Lissa Gerking of the Federal Bar Association in Brussels, and Chair in Civil Law, German, European and International Civil Procedure at the Leibniz University Hannover. They discuss how the digital transformation of justice can reduce the focus on the core principle of a fair trial, sidelining several procedurally important aspects of in person hearings. ODR's global adoption is being driven primarily by efficiency, but that efficiency may be achieved at the expense of justice. Fast justice is not always better justice.
Every society is different, with different stakeholders -- and litigants may have different levels of digital literacy in different countries. There may also be issues around the quality internet access available to individuals, challenges around distinguishing safe and unsafe online locations, and accessing safe and secure places to engage in online processes. If we are to effectively design a new justice system that leverages technology, we must remain cognizant of these challenges around access. awareness, and understanding of technology.
