Webinar #1: Hybrid Courts – The New Operational Normal
Date: May 12, 2021
Language: In English, with simultaneous interpretation
The impact of COVID-19 on society has been far-reaching. Impacts on the administration of justice during the pandemic are still being felt today with a lot of the courts and tribunals closed for hearings and doing their best to run with virtual operations. As the world enters the vaccination of their populations and a potential to return to delivering justice in a new normal, the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice (CIAJ) in collaboration with PwC Canada, host a series of discussions that leverage the learnings of the past and explore a future forward hybrid court that delivers greater access to justice and supports Canadians in the economic and societal recoveries.
What you will learn from this session:
- What operational and workforce changes worked or not in Virtual Courts
- What have we learnt that surprised us and prompted new ways of thinking, legislation and reform
- Future ingredients for success
