Virtual Law Centre
Grant: £82,011
April 10, 2017
The Virtual Law Centre is a Skype based service providing specialist legal advice from pro bono solicitors and barristers based in Bristol to clients in more rural areas of the South West who do not have access to pro bono services. The project is hosted by Avon and Bristol Law Centre working closely in partnership with Citizens Advice North Somerset and Citizens Advice South Somerset whose clients will be accessing the service. The project aims to develop to include more partners and provide a comprehensive network of pro bono advice across the region.
The aim is to start with family law and employment with one off advice sessions but build up to an end to end casework service as the project develops.
Focus will be on helping the most vulnerable people to resolve their legal issues quickly and helpfully, with clients being supported on to further services where needed. The aim is to provide a much needed service in areas where people have no access at all to free specialist legal advice and representation.

Online dispute resolution in family disputes in England & Wales – lessons
Grant: £15,978
March 29, 2017
Between September 2015 to October 2016 Relate piloted the prototype Online Family Dispute Resolution (OFDR) service it had built by adapting the Dutch Rechtwijzer model. During this period they carried out:
Relate also worked intensively on determining a sustainable social business model to allow the service to scale.
Unfortunately, despite the successful pilot, Relate have not managed to secure the delivery and investment partnerships required for the public launch of the ODFR service. They now aim to disseminate the lessons learnt from the pilot, focused on key findings on service users, practitioner involvement, and service sustainability; and to identify remaining innovation gaps in each of these areas.
In this their objectives are twofold:

Strengthening 21st Century Access to Justice
Grant: £91,287
November 9, 2016
This project builds on the recommendations from recent reports Delivering Justice in an Age of Austerity and What is a Court?, which informed the senior judiciary and Government’s thinking on system reform.
This project aims to ensure that the changes to the court and tribunals systems through digitisation respond to the needs of court users, and that ordinary people are provided with the tools to be able to take advantage of an improved, online justice system.
The project will involve on-going work with senior judges, law makers and Government officials on the adoption of modified dispute resolution processes by the judiciary and on reconfiguration of the court and tribunal estate centred on flexibility and IT enabled access to court buildings. It will also involve the establishment of a Working Party of JUSTICE members focussed on how ‘Assisted Digital’ might be enhanced to ensure that everyone, including the most technologically marginalised, can access justice online.
