Description
Our civil justice system is more than a century old. We respect its core principles, its successes and longevity while still recognizing the need for positive change. How can the legal community work together to bring about this change? This program is designed for those with a passion for innovation to identify obstacles and propose solutions to existing issues, like increasing cost efficiency and access to justice. The variety of perspectives are sure to point the way forward for some current processes, as well as advance the discussion on an overall vision for the justice system of the future.
