ABA Litigation Journal

Litigation Cover

The Spring 2016 edition of the ABA Litigation Journal (Vol. 42, No. 3) contains an article by Jeff Aresty, Robin West, and me – pp. 41-45.  The article is entitled, “Building the Justice Layer of the Internet,” and is a critique of the legal profession and a call to be involved now in the development of an Internet justice layer that delivers “justice” in a way that the traditional justice system does not.  Our argument for immediate attention to the justice layer of the Internet can be distilled to a reasonably simple point:  For poor people “. . . access to justice remains illusory . . . “, but “. . . this wouldn’t be the case if access did not depend on systems created in a barely post-Medieval world.”
