We tend to see a lot of future-gazing around the changing role of the law firm, but relatively little on the future of the court system itself – the fundamental common law institution that for hundreds of years has served as a bedrock of legal process and justice across the globe.

The Legal UKI business of Thomson Reuters sought insights from common law jurisdictions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and elsewhere, working closely with colleagues across the business to understand the trends, opportunities, and challenges surrounding the modernisation of the court system.
