Measures and Metrics – Boldly Going Where The Numbers Lead 

Hosted by The National Center for State Courts 

 Join colleagues, innovators, and ODR thought leaders at the International ODR Forum 2019 in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. Join your international colleagues in Williamsburg – a destination listed by the New York Times as one of the 52 Places to go (New York Times places to visit in 2019). With a 17th-century community and courtroom as backdrop, explore 21st century community and court processes, digital platforms, portals, networks, and apps.

ODR use is expanding rapidly in the public sector and courts are beginning to have results that can be measured. Session topics for the 2019 Forum will center around measures and metrics.

  • Measuring success in the ODR space. 
  • Best practices in gathering data for accurate evidence-based decision-making. 
  • Innovation. 
  • Sustainability. 
  • What public and private sectors can learn from each other.
A pre-forum workshop on October 28 will provide a deep dive into real-world case studies of Court-implemented ODR: successes to emulate, missteps to avoid, considerations, process improvement, stakeholder engagement, and innovative approaches to seemingly intractable challenges.

What does it take to bring justice online? by Mirèze Philippe * Technology and communication have revolutionised the world in the last century like nothing before, and have become an indispensable tool in our daily personal, social and professional life. Instantaneous access to information and services has become normal and a must. Everything is online, and yet, justice cannot be accessed online like any service. Although efforts are undertaken in various countries by public and private initiatives, they are only a handful, and public and private justice remains severely missing online.  Providing access to justice through  online dispute resolution (“ODR”) ca n be an effective way to cure denials of justice to many people who have no other means to seek remedy.  The role of technology in dispute resolution  is high on the agenda and the topic is being increasingly at the centre of discussions.  In a world that is rapidly developing it is surprising to observe that ODR is lag
