Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack, Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht and ABA President Patricia Lee Refo joined Legal Services Corporation (LSC) President Ron Flagg on the latest episode of “Talk Justice, an LSC Podcast,” released recently.
The episode focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the courts and the practice of law.
Many innovations are being used to respond to the pandemic, including remote hearings, virtual mediation and arbitration and virtual jury trials.
The panelists discuss the many challenges COVID-19 poses to the justice system and to low-income Americans, particularly in the area of housing. But they also note that many of the changes to how courts and attorneys operate may be lasting ones with positive implications for access to justice.
“The new normal will not be the old normal,” predicts McCormack. “We’ve seen too many of the benefits to transparency, to efficiency and to accessibility.”
Talk Justice episodes are available at www.lsc.gov/media-center/talk-justice-LSC-podcast and on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple and other popular podcast platforms.
The podcast is sponsored by LSC’s Leaders Council.
Future episodes of Talk Justice will explore the challenges of delivering legal services in rural areas and legal aid’s importance to American business.
