International Survey on Judges and Technology
This is an international survey of judges, conducted by scholars who are part of an International Research Collaborative on Judicial Innovation under the auspices of the Law & Society Association.
The purpose of this research is to have an informed understanding from the Australian judiciary as to the role of technology in their work. However, this research project is taking place internationally, with judges from different jurisdictions being surveyed. Survey responses will be considered by research teams in different countries and the overall responses will be used for comparative research purposes.
Judges around the world must grapple with technological change and its impact on their role and the judicial sector, which has only been emphasised by COVID-19. As jurisdictions around the world are adopting technologies in different ways, truly transnational collaborative research projects such as this are necessary.
We are grateful to the Australian Academy of Law for their support in providing some partial funding for this project.
