Summary

The pandemic saw an uptick in the use of remote technology in justice processes, with everything from legal advice in police stations to court hearings suddenly taking place online. The use of technology allowed practitioners to keep calm and carry on despite restrictions, but now that lockdown has ended, questions remain about the future of video technology in our justice system and its impact on fair trial rights. Penelope and Rob are joined by Dr Natalie Byrom, Director of Research at the Legal Education Foundation, and Stephen Davies, defence solicitor at Tuckers, to discuss the potential dangers of video technology and if (and when) it should be used in the future.
