Technology, Values, And The Justice System: Introduction, Gerry Alexander
Washington Law Review
This conference will focus on the fact that whether we like it or not the new information and communication technologies, including the Internet, have begun to enter the justice system, will continue to do so, and will in many ways affect the system in the future.

To transform these values into reality, the Washington State Supreme Court Order gave the ATJ Board the mission to promote and facilitate equal access to justice, and, among other tasks, to develop and implement policies and initiatives that enhance, improve, and strengthen access to justice. On November 2, 2000, the Court entered an Order which reauthorized the ATJ Board as a permanent body, charging it with responsibility to assure high quality access for all persons in Washington State who suffer disparate access barriers to the justice system.

Conceptualizing The Right To Access To Technology, Morton J. Horwitz
Conceptualizing The Right To Access To Technology, Morton J. Horwitz
Washington Law Review

This Article describes an idealized civil justice system (System) unlike anything that presently exists. The System is …
