Remote Justice
Remote Justice refers to the use of technology to conduct legal proceedings without the need for physical presence in a courtroom. This approach allows judges, lawyers, and defendants to participate in hearings and trials via video conferencing tools, making the legal process more accessible and efficient, especially in situations where travel is difficult or unsafe.
The concept gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many courts adopted virtual platforms to continue operations. Remote Justice aims to reduce delays in the legal system and ensure that individuals can still receive fair hearings, regardless of their location or circumstances, while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.
