Digitalising courts in Asia

Courts are unique locations to witness digital transformations. Not only are they institutions upon which digitalisation is having increasing effects such as in terms of court management and adjudicatory processes, they are also institutions that are actively shaping discourses on what digitalisation means for the delivery of justice. With the advent of digitalisation in different aspects of the working of the court such as document discovery, legal research, evidence gathering and processing, workflow management, predictive sentencing, and virtual hearings, the approach taken by courts as institutions that must ensure access to justice in digital and networked spaces remains vital toa study of justice delivery.
