Legal Incubators at Law and Society Association

Omar Ha-Redeye  discussed his paper on legal incubators at the 2018 Law and Society Association (LSA) annual meeting in Toronto on June 8, 2018, at 2:45.

Globalization and technology are disrupting the legal profession and changing the way legal services are delivered and despite best efforts, the access to justice gap continues to grow in Canada. As a response to these drivers of change, innovation – as both a noun and a verb – has become a talisman poised to help us address the challenges pushing at the door of the legal profession.

This roundtable with bring together contributors to the Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice Special Edition: Access to Justice and Innovation to discuss how legal practitioners, academics and access to justice advocates are exploring how the theories, methods and tools of innovation can be applied to meet the complex access to justice challenges presenting in Canada.

He  discussed how incubators can be more widely adopted, and what the impact would be on the justice system, how it can promote access to justice, and ways it would better train lawyers to respond more strategically and effectively to justice challenges.
