Equal Access to Information & Justice Online Dispute Resolution - ODR 2017


Monday

12 June 2017

One of the objectives of the conference is to demystify ODR and to explain why and how it offers increased access to information and justice, particularly in emerging economies, conflict zones and remote places where individuals do not even have the benefit of judiciaries to resolve their disputes.

  • Chair: Graham Ross
  • Panelists: Salaheddine Al-Bashir, Louis Degos, Dory Reiling
  • Synopsis: In recent years, there have been notable achievements in courts using ODR, such as in Singapore, Korea, the Netherlands, and ambitious planning for online courts in the UK.
