The legal domain is being fundamentally transformed by the introduction of new digital technologies. Digitization promises to promote efficiency, objectivity, and ease of use in adjudication, legal practice, and the administration of justice. At the same time, concerns have been raised about issues such as algorithmic bias, digital illiteracy, and threats to judicial autonomy. The Digital Justice Lecture Series aims to offer a space for critical reflection on the future of law and legal practice.
