In the Q&A, former ABF Board President Jimmy Goodman asks what evidence we have to address common concerns. “We have a lot of data,” says @michelestaty.bsky.social. "In terms of success, they’re analogous." She directs listeners to the work of @echambli.bsky.social, among others. #ABAMidyear

@CivResTribunal @shannonnsalter @crule Many of the expert systems that proved the @CivResTribunal a viable project were built by lawyers donating their expertise. There’s a space for collaboration between lawyers and #legaltech. - @darin_thompson #ABAMidyear

@shannonnsalter @CivResTribunal Don’t launch a comprehensive system all at once. Implementing in stages, first condo disputes then small claims, let the @CivResTribunal build and improve with each release. - @shannonnsalter #ABAMidyear

When chatting with courts on their plans to modernize, with every court @shannonnsalter visited, there was always one guy that wanted to build a custom application using javascript. The @CivResTribunal instead bought software off the shelf and customized it for #ODR. #ABAMidyear

@CivResTribunal @shannonnsalter If you’re court’s plan to modernize is e-filing, they’re just digitizing the status quo. That’s not improving; there’s just codifying an outdated system. - @shannonnsalter #ABAMidyear

It’s interesting to me to see how the @CivResTribunal uses a varying amount of automation. Early in the process - diagnosis & negotiation have heavy automation. Escalated, later stages - facilitation, decision, & post resolution support - rely on human input. #ABAMidyear
