The Government’s decision to invest approx £1 billion into modernising our judicial proceedings has been met with mixed perspectives from all parties who will be affected by this move.
According to Deloitte, there is going to be a 39% reduction in legal sector jobs over the next two decades due to automation.
The government is in the process of pouring £1 billion into modernising the judicial sector; from the introduction of online forms to the use of video links in court.
Hardly any investigation has been done into what defendants think about the introduction of modern technology to their law proceeding, however a paper by Transform Justice suggests that defendants are reluctant to appear on video links. When given the choice, the majority of defendants refused to appear on video from the police station.
In Spring 2019, the Government planned to introduce online courtroom hearings for tax tribunals and claimants. Now, with the outbreak of coronavirus worldwide, the Government are having to act on this right away. This upheaval in the traditional legal process was planned to streamline the judicial system, introducing the option for claimants to attend their hearing while at home or work, rather than having to give up a day to travel to court.
This was all part of the Ministry of Justice’s £1 billion modernisation drive, a drive which plans to makeover the entire judicial system. For example, couples applying for divorce can now apply online. A “smart form”, which tailors questions based on the context around the marriage breakdown, will help the Ministry of Justice potentially save £250 million through a reduction in paperwork and processing time.
But how does this move towards modernisation affect the people who will experience it firsthand?
This article will draw from judicial judges apprehensions and expectations of this huge drive to embrace technology within the legal sector.

Video conferencing has secured its position as the up and coming technological advancement that modern-day companies need to use. With its cost-saving benefits and eco-friendly consequences, it’s easy to see why video conferencing is becoming increasingly popular. But where did it start? And where did it come from?
The recent travel bans imposed in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak has affected millions of businesses around the Globe. The suspension of flights to and from China have thrown many businesses into making difficult decisions regarding whether or not to postpone overseas meetings for their employees. The economic cost continues to mount as businesses in and around Asia strive to better control the virus transmission.
Britain’s Department of Health and Social Care has declared the coronavirus outbreak a ‘serious and imminent threat’ to public health. The UK Government are also increasing its powers to keep people who may have the illness quarantined to prevent the spread of the virus across the UK. Companies worldwide and in virtually every sector have seen their business in China suffer, and now the virus is forcing companies to restrict corporate travel to mainland China.
In the UK, the education system continues to be choked financially. We had seen a 48% rise in funding per child between 1997 & 2007 with £1.2 billion on education every week. However, successive governments have neglected this duty and subsequently underfunded British education.
Although parents and teachers feel the indirect pressures as a result of this ‘today’, it is the students who are likely to suffer in the long-term, who are at risk of experiencing a poorer level of teaching due to strict target-based curriculum’s, time-poor teachers and financially stretched schools.
With this in mind, it’s important to consider what options there are to help tackle this problem and still allow for our children and students to get the high level of education that we wish them to have. This is where Video Conferencing technology can help educators bring the outside world into the classroom and help inspire students and give them the opportunity to connect the environment from their desks. It is predicted that one of the most significant trends on the rise in education is video supported learning and therefore if you’re not already implementing it, you likely will be soon.
Video conferencing is increasingly popular among all types of businesses, from large to small startups. Video conferencing technology is an impressive business tool not only because it increases productivity and convenience, but because it also provides money-saving benefits.
The availability of fast, inexpensive broadband has done much to change the perception that only large companies have access to video conferencing. The simplicity of the technology means that using video conferencing doesn’t require a vital work conference to justify its usage; quick one-to-one conversations between coworkers can be held this way too.
