The purpose of the CRDP’s Cyberjustice Laboratory project is to create a research infrastructure in which to develop different software solutions to the many problems currently plaguing the justice system. This research facility, the virtual courtroom to which it will be attached, and the transportable courtroom housed at McGill University, will be used to develop and test software modules for facilitating online dispute resolution, virtualizing court files, managing court dockets in a more effective manner, and helping judges write decisions. The goal is therefore to create software tools that will ease the justice system into the network age by offering tangible, efficient solutions to its current problems (delays, costs, etc.). These tools will not simply recreate current procedural practices; they will offer new ways of approaching the legal process and will therefore rejuvenate courtroom practices through new and innovative technological solutions. They will also provide a socio-judicial analysis of the underlying rationales of procedural and evidentiary practices.
