Conference on Algorithmic Dispute Resolution

The purpose of this symposium is to foster reflection among the academic and professional communities (both legal tech and public sectors) on the emergence of direct-to-public legal help applications and their socio-legal implications. The participants are invited to analyze critically the role of algorithms for access to justice both from the perspective of technological innovations as well as the socio-legal implications.
