本章考虑了大流行导致的视频听证的使用迅速增加，以及它们改善穷人命运的潜力。大流行期间事态发展的不同之处在于，它们引发了实验，在这些实验中，包括精英法律行为者在内的每个人都被迫上网，并被要求反思这一经历。本章概述了迄今为止的事态发展，然后继续审议完全在线审判在多大程度上有可能在刑事司法系统中创造一个更公平的竞争环境。有人认为，使用技术的批评者有可能将实体法院浪漫化，因为这些法院更善于尊重司法系统的非专业用户或鼓励他们参与进来。
This chapter considers the rapid rise in the use of video hearings caused by the pandemic and their potential to improve the lot of the poor. What is different about developments during the pandemic is that they have prompted experiments in which everyone including elite legal actors have been forced online and made to reflect on the experience. The chapter outlines developments to date before going on to consider the extent to which totally online trials have the potential to create a more level playing field in the criminal justice system. It is argued that there is a danger that critics of the use of technology are in danger of romanticising physical courthouses as places which are better at dignifying lay users of the justice system or encouraging their participation.
