Technology is quickly transforming how courts and judges ensure justice for all. This course will look to the future for technology in courts, drawing on recent courthouse technological developments to identify trends leading to the next century of justice. In recent decades, courts have digitized much of their systems, and the legal community has adopted technology in their legal practice. Pleadings, discovery, evidence and trials rely on digital technology and the Internet. The pandemic led to broad use of remote technology for hearings and trials. Artificial intelligence has accelerated courts’ reliance on technology.

This course will examine both the technology and the law of justice for the future. Starting with how courts currently apply technology, the course will identify developing technology for courts. It will consider how courts can manage and govern use of technology in the courthouse to achieve justice.

This course is in the planning stages. It will be a four-day course in March of 2027 and will take place in the San Francisco Bay Area. Registration for this course will open shortly. Please use the form below to let us know you are interested:
