'Engstrom has convened an extraordinary group of scholars around the urgent, vital topic of how we can and should mobilize legal technology to improve access to justice. The result is a clear-eyed, relentlessly data-driven analysis of a pressing national problem - and with balanced, constructive suggestions for legal reform and policy change.' Daniel B. Rodriguez, Northwestern University 'A welcome corrective to a conversation about legal technology often dominated by magical thinking, whether cheery tales about ever-expanding openness, access, and efficiency, or darker ones about humans' obsolescence. Legal tech will continue to transform legal and court practice in complex ways. Nothing is inevitable here, neither access nor exclusion. This book illuminates opportunities to shape the transformation in positive directions that further justice.' Rebecca L. Sandefur, Arizona State University 'This is an invaluable collection of scholarly and insightful essays. As civil litigation, the world over, becomes increasingly costly, time-consuming, combative, and complex, the authors show - with enthusiasm and yet realism - how technology might help both streamline and transform dispute resolution processes. Mandatory reading for litigators and judges.' Richard Susskind, Society for Computers and Law
