Ab Currie, Senior Research Fellow at CFCJ, represented the CFCJ at the 2023 OECD Global Roundtable on Equal Access to Justice: Making People-Centered Justice Happen in Ljubljana, Slovenia, December 6 to 8, 2023. The meeting included two technical workshops, one on “Building Evidence for People-Centered Justice” and a second on “Access to Justice for Children and Child-centered Justice”. Roundtable topics included “Responsive and Resilient Systems for Healthy Democracies and Trust in Institutions” and “The “People” in People-Centred Justice: Learning from Diverse Experiences within Justice Systems”.
Following the roundtable discussions, expert policy discussions included Advancing Access to Justice for All: Leaving No One Behind, Measuring People-Centricity and Access to Justice and Promoting Innovation in Justice Services. Two collaborative workshops on the final day of the conference addressed regulation for access to justice and measuring and improving access to justice in court services. Among the many issues that were discussed, one thread running through a number of the sessions was the application of digital technologies in people-centered access to justice.
