The National Center for State Courts will present the webinar “Rural Justice and Remote Proceedings” on Wednesday, January 18, beginning at 3 p.m. via Zoom.
How can remote proceedings increase access to justice for court users in rural communities? Much of the discussion about remote proceedings and rural justice has focused on the digital divide. However, remote
proceedings when used strategically can help improve access to justice in rural communities, including reducing geographic barriers to attending court and improving access to attorneys. This webinar offers an opportunity to spark ideas about how rural courts can leverage remote proceedings.
Panelists for the webinar include:
• Chief Judge Donna J. Mowrer, Ninth Judicial District New Mexico.
• Kathryn Genthon, senior court research analyst, National Center for State Courts.
Moderating the panel will be Mark C. Palmer, chief counsel, Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism.
