Pretty excited to see our piece on Courts and COVID - written with the awesome Anna Olijnyk and @KieranPender - out in the @AltLJ today.

Check out: "Civil courts and COVID-19: Challenges and opportunities in Australia"

In the article we examine the pivots to remote hearings our courts have undertaken, and probe the issues of public law and good judicial administration that arise with this shift. We also flag the opportunities for future reform presented by this profound cultural shift

The changes in judicial practices in the last 6 months have been profound - and there are as many challenges ahead as there are opportunities that have been created. This is a needed conversation for all those with an interest in judicial studies, practice and administration.

This article has grown from an early think-piece we published earlier in the year in the fabulous @auspublawblog

The @GTCentre has been a leader in pushing the discussion about public law and COIVD and has organised a series of seminars on the topic. Check out our panel discussion last month - together with @steve_mcdee @dr_lbc and Justice Beech-Jones - here:

Also, keep an eye out for the many great articles in this upcoming issue:
