<i>Courts, Litigants, and the

Digital Age</i> examines the ramifications of technology for courts, judges, and the administration of justice. It sets out

the issues raised by technology, and, particularly, the Internet, so that

conventional paradigms can be updated in the judicial context. In particular,

the book dwells on issues such as proper judicial use of Internet sources, judicial

ethics and social networking, electronic court records and anonymization

techniques, control of the courtroom and jurors’ use of new technologies, as

well as the Internet’s impact on judicial appointments and the diversity of the

judiciary. The second edition includes discussion of current issues in this

rapidly developing area, such as privacy protection, the “right to be

forgotten,” cyber intimidation, freedom of digital speech, and litigant

anonymity. Through examination of relevant practical, legal, and ethical

issues, it endeavours to extract lessons from the developing issues surveyed

and proposes forward-thinking approaches based on proportionality principles.
