Legal Lockdown
Virtual Courts – a hindrance to justice, or the way of the future?
In Episode 8 of Legal Lockdown, Adriana Giometti joins General Insurance Special Counsel Sarah Wheeler for a look at how Australia’s courts have navigated the recent lockdowns through the use of online hearings.
Topics discussed:
- How to prepare for an online hearing
- Things to keep in mind during questioning
- Pros and Cons of online hearings
- What can we expect to see post-lockdown?
Consistent with Sarah’s comments regarding the future, the Supreme Court of NSW on Wednesday 20 May announced its first steps to reopening the Court to parties and the public.
