'Engstrom has convened an extraordinary group of scholars around
the urgent, vital topic of how we can and should mobilize legal
technology to improve access to justice. The result is a
clear-eyed, relentlessly data-driven analysis of a pressing
national problem - and with balanced, constructive suggestions for
legal reform and policy change.' Daniel B. Rodriguez, Northwestern
University
'A welcome corrective to a conversation about legal technology
often dominated by magical thinking, whether cheery tales about
ever-expanding openness, access, and efficiency, or darker ones
about humans' obsolescence. Legal tech will continue to transform
legal and court practice in complex ways. Nothing is inevitable
here, neither access nor exclusion. This book illuminates
opportunities to shape the transformation in positive directions
that further justice.' Rebecca L. Sandefur, Arizona State
University
'This is an invaluable collection of scholarly and insightful
essays. As civil litigation, the world over, becomes increasingly
costly, time-consuming, combative, and complex, the authors show -
with enthusiasm and yet realism - how technology might help both
streamline and transform dispute resolution processes. Mandatory
reading for litigators and judges.' Richard Susskind, Society for
Computers and Law
