The Spanish Flu to Covid-19: How this Pandemic is Pushing Courts to Modernize

Even before the global pandemic, Michigan courts were moving more quickly than many others to modernize. Michigan Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack talks with host Dan Linna about accelerating the state's plans to offer online hearings, online dispute resolution, and to continue efforts to establish e-filing statewide. Not everything is going smoothly, but McCormack notes some judges are almost current on their dockets. And importantly, she believes that many temporary quick fixes will lead to permanent changes that improve access to justice statewide and increase public trust in the judicial branch. Bridget Mary McCormack was named chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court in January 2019. Special thanks to our sponsors, Logikcull and Acumass .
