The adoption of electronic documents and remote hearings by all Australian courts looks set to continue in various iterations. Junior litigation lawyers who are aware of the electronic litigation tools, protocols for eTrials and the potential hurdles in their adoption will be well placed to provide valuable input to matter teams and an efficient client service.
The speakers draw on their combined experience as solicitors, judicial associates and counsel to share ideas on:
- Why a junior lawyer tasked with document management is afforded a uniquely valuable position in a litigation team
- Evaluating which electronic tools might be useful for different matters
- How electronic tools aid team operations, client service and communication with parties
- Practice Directions guiding eTrials
This presentation was the final installment in a series of four co-hosted by and Level Twenty Seven Chambers. The series aimed to address practical and everyday topics for junior lawyers.
