The goal of this conference continues ongoing efforts to become aware of and incorporate into our scholarship and instruction recent developments in the court system. The court system broadly conceived is the set of institutions and authorities that has the task of managing conflicts, enforcing rules/agreements, and providing just redress for injuries. This sprawling formal and informal system has never reflected the norms enshrined in idealized visions of the law. It has long been an informal system of settlement conferences and plea bargains. However, over the last several decades the form of these institutions and authorities has rapidly involved in a variety of ways. Those include online courts, written instead of oral communications and algorithmic decision-making.
