Opaque Justice? The technology and transparency of courts and tribunals. Ft Dr Judith Townend

Though interpreted and applied variously, the common law principle of open justice is widely understood as crucial to holding the justice system to account, through different transparency mechanisms. How, then, does this work in practice? Dr Judith Townend joins us to discuss her research and her co-authored monograph, Observing Justice (with Lucy Welsh, BUP, 2023) and the establishment of the Courts and Tribunals Observers’ Network (https://courtobservers.org/). Her research has considered the control and processing of justice system data in different jurisdictions (Australia, Canada and Ireland, as well as England and Wales) and she has long advocated for increased public involvement in the development of policy and guidance on open justice/transparency practices. This event is run with support by the Justice and Power research Priority Theme in the School of Humanities, Social Sciences & Law and the University of Dundee Law School along with the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science.
