Pump Court Chambers is pleased to invite you to our webinar ‘Judging and Advocacy in Virtual Court Hearings – An International Experience’ part of our “Legal Lockdown Series” of online seminars.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has only served to accelerate the use of remote hearings to determine disputes. As an important means of broadening access to justice, there is no question that such hearings are here to stay. This event brings together a diverse group of legal experts to discuss an international experience of judging and advocating remotely.
Topics include:
– Protocols and guidance;
– The Judge’s experience and the advocate’s skill;
– Determining which cases are suitable for remote hearings;
– The IT platforms in use and experience of their effectiveness;
– What should you have in mind to ensure all goes to plan and the case is most effectively presented or heard.
Below is a list of the downloads referred to in the webinar recording:
