About this event

Huge changes have been made to the operation of the civil justice system as a consequence of COVID-19. Cases are being stayed, courts have been closed and hearings conducted via phone or video are, at least for the time being, becoming the norm. But how fair is the justice meted out? Who is disadvantaged and do we have the data to know? How much does it matter where you live? What happens when tech fails? Is compassion possible in remote hearings? What has been the impact on the profession? And how will the justice system get through the backlog of cases at the end of all this?

Chair: Alexi Mostrous, Editor and Partner, Tortoise

This ThinkIn is in partnership with The Legal Education Foundation and the Civil Justice Council.

How does a digital ThinkIn work?

A digital ThinkIn is like a video conference, hosted by a Tortoise editor, that takes place at the advertised time of the event. Digital ThinkIns are new to Tortoise. Now that our newsroom has closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, we feel it’s more important than ever that we ‘get together’ to talk about the world and what’s going on.

The link to join the conversation will be emailed to you after you have registered for your ticket to attend. You can find the link in the Eventbrite confirmation email under the heading Additional Information.

When you click the link, you enter the digital ThinkIn and can join a live conversation from wherever you are in the world.

If you have any questions or get stuck, please read our FAQs, or get in touch with us at memberhelp@tortoisemedia.com

What is a Tortoise ThinkIn?

A ThinkIn is not another panel discussion. It is a forum for civilised disagreement. It is a place where everyone has a seat at the (virtual) table. It’s where we get to hear what you think, drawn from your experience, energy and expertise. It is the heart of what we do at Tortoise.

A bit about us.

Tortoise is building a different kind of newsroom. We're opening up journalism and giving everyone a seat at the table. The ThinkIn is the heart of what we do. It’s a forum for civilised disagreement where our members take part in live, unscripted conversations that shape the way we report the world. Let's make sense of this together.
