Securing Cybercourts: The Security Implications of Digital Justice

Whether through the use of efiling, ODR, electronic case management or any other number of technological innovations, courts  across the country and around the world are turning towards information technology to streamline the judicial process and, hopefully, make it more efficient and accessible. Such an undertaking should however take into account a series of factors often overlooked such as how technology will influence our relationship with the legal system and how the data and metadata generated through the use of such technologies should be controlled and protected. This lecture will focus on the importance of these issues and how they need to be addressed if we wish to go forward with the modernisation of the judicial process through the implementation of cyberjustice solutions.
