As courts are increasingly considering, planning, and launching online dispute resolution (ODR) systems, how well are they addressing the needs of self-represented litigants (SRLs)? ODR holds great promise for improving access to justice, but if not developed carefully it could also increase barriers. The three presenters all have decades of experience in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and view ODR from differing perspectives – state court, tech company and non-profit. They will describe the ways in which state courts are currently offering ODR, the challenges in developing systems that improve access to justice and the ways in which ODR can improve access for SRLs.
