This book explores an increasingly important issue for legal systems across the world. It asks what do we lose and gain when legal proceedings go online? Adopting a multi-disciplinary socio-legal perspective, it draws on an emerging body of empirical evidence from the UK, Australia, Canada and the US about the ways in which digital justice is being conceived of and experienced. Insights are drawn from across the social sciences to discuss the interface of digitalisation with a range of issues such as due process, procedural justice, digital disadvantage, ceremony and ritual, science and technology studies and the dematerialisation of the civic sphere. Written accessibly and provocatively, it poses questions from a variety of different perspective with a particular focus on marginalised groups.

Legal Life-Writing provides the first sustained treatment of the implications of life-writing on legal biography, autobiography and the visual history of law in society through a focus on neglected sources and those usually marginalized or ignored in legal biography and legal history, such as women and minorities. .
