  • The Courts, the Remote Hearing and the Pandemic: from Action to Reflection
    126 UNSW Law Journal Volume 44(1) THE COURTS, THE REMOTE HEARING AND THE PANDEMIC: FROM ACTION TO REFLECTION MICHAEL LEGG* AND ANTHONY SONG** With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, courts around the world rapidly shifted to remote hearings. Balancing public health directives with the need to continue upholding the rule of law, what followed was the largest, unforeseen mass-pilot of remote hearings across the world. For courts this was necessarily a time of action, not reflection. However, after having maintained court operations, it is now necessary to reflect on the experience of remote courts and their users during an otherwise unprecedented situation. Unlike previous iterations of remote hearings, the COVID-19 experience was fully remote – whereby all participants took part in the hearing remotely. The difficulty is until now, almost no prior empirical data has existed on this type of fully remote hearing with the majority of previous research focused on the use of audiovisual links (‘AVLs’) to facilitate partially remote appearances within courtrooms. To bridge the research and data gap on fully remote hearings, this article draws on the previous body of literature to both examine the COVID-19 experience, and to assist in guiding future research and use of remote hearings. I INTRODUCTION On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the public health crisis under COVID-19 a pandemic.1 In a matter of weeks the world shifted to digital ways of working under government directives to social distance and self- isolate. As open public spaces,2 courts in particular were forced to pivot to remote * Professor and Director of the Law Society of New South Wales Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Research Stream, Faculty of Law and Justice, University of New South Wales (UNSW).
