Digital vulnerability: Vulnerable individuals and remote access technologies in justice
- There's no block with the name: Course Tagline - Criminal Law
About the webinar
ETHICS & PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY. PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. PRACTICE MANAGEMENT.
CPD Points: 1.5
This seminar will focus on the use of remote access technologies, such as audiovisual links, when working with vulnerable individuals in the justice system, and the developing concept of ‘digital vulnerability’. The seminar will draw on Dr McKay’s current Australian Research Council (‘ARC’) funded research and examine the multiple layers of vulnerability that individuals may experience while involved in legal matters. It will present preliminary findings from initial fieldwork interviews with lawyers and judicial officers that reveal critical perspectives on the impacts of digitalisation on vulnerable people in the justice system. While the research project and findings centre on the criminal justice system, many of the issues are equally relevant to legal practitioners working with vulnerable people in civil matters.
Presenter: Dr Carolyn McKay, University of Sydney Law School
