Written by Max Barrett, a judge of the High Court of Ireland, Online Dispute Resolution: Law’s Future in the Digital Age looks at the impact of digitalisation on legal services provision and considers how, increasingly, a worldwide revolution in dispute resolution is unfolding, with many legal disputes now being resolved remotely. Further, it explores how, as part of this global ‘resolution revolution’, courts are undergoing change as public justice systems turn to offer fairer access to justice, via online dispute resolution mechanisms. Key topics featured address: • the ongoing transformation of legal services: addressing how digitalisation is transforming the traditional legal ecosystem and changing the very nature of court-administered justice; • the global revolution in dispute resolution: examining the worldwide shift towards online dispute resolution (ODR) and how legal disputes are increasingly resolved remotely through digital platforms; • the continuing evolution of court systems: suggesting that traditional court systems are becoming to some extent obsolete as public justice systems transition to online platforms; • the access-to-justice implications of e-justice: exploring how ODR ensures broader access to justice as a fundamental human right, making legal resolution more accessible to people regardless of location; and • the future of public justice systems: providing insights into the future trajectory of public justice systems, highlighting the shift towards digital solutions and the implications for the future administration of justice. This insightful edition is essential reading for anyone with a professional interest in the effects of digitalisation on the future of court-administered justice systems, including judges, lawyers and court administrators.
