What happens to hearing space in remote hearings? And how can legal geography help us understand these digital developments?
My new🔓paper explores these questions & argues space is dispersed, stretched & snapped along a continuum of remoteness. Read on to make sense of this...

Is remote advice the future of immigration legal aid, or could relying on phones do more harm than good?
The Ministry of Justice urgently needs to conduct more research & establish best practice guidelines, argues a new report ✍️

What’s the real #CostofInjustice? 🚨
New research shows the Government has been wasting nearly £400k a year assessing immigration legal aid applications that fall under Exceptional Case Funding, even though almost 90% of those applications are approved

Jo Hynes (@jo__hynes @UniofExeter) was highly commended for her paper 'Loitering with (research) intent: Remote ethnographies in the immigration tribunal' which is a 'novel and engaging reflection on a remote courtroom ethnography'.

"Without evidence of the scale of meaningful legal aid provider capacity & community legal need, there is a risk that ‘strategic ignorance’ is built into the system."

Good to talk to @MORGANMEAKER & @WIRED about GPS tagging in the immigration system & how it impacts people's mental health.
Thank you to Mark Nelson for sharing his experiences ⬇️

Will remote advice solve the problem? Can you share your insight on how this is working?
We need organisations, particularly in the South West, to give feedback on his plan.

Last week @publiclawprojct @DanLRourke sent a pre-action letter to the Lord Chancellor arguing that he is in breach of his duty to secure legal aid for immigration and asylum cases - denying people access to justice.
To understand why, here are two things you need to read:

How have we got to this place?
Many of the most vulnerable people in our society cannot get #LegalAid—not because they aren't eligible—but because there aren't enough providers left.
Thanks, @publiclawprojct, for holding government neglect to account.

How can people on #UniversalCredit navigate the shadowy system behind deductions? How do we know when the Gov't uses AI to make decisions?
At this year’s @legalscholars conference, we spoke about tackling lack of transparency with the 'periscope' method:

"Transparency and accountability are key to improving public decision making, empowering people to engage with law, and increasing access to justice. So how can the Government foster those principles?"
From new post-pandemic technology to remote observation, how can we strengthen #accesstojustice?
In the first consultation on open justice since 2012, we advised the Ministry of Justice how to make court and tribunal services more transparent.

What does it mean to conduct court ethnographies remotely?
Can you still loiter with (research) intent? (TL;DR yes!)
My new🔓paper explores these questions and the role of absences in legal events.
