What roles do public and private stakeholders play towards promoting the wider acceptance of online mediation initiatives around the world? The COVID-19 pandemic is also exerting greater pressure for the arbitration community to find innovative ways to incorporate greater use of technology, through more use of online dispute resolution (ODR) or virtual hearings. How to best mitigate the effects of any impediments while ensuring the fairness and efficiency of arbitral proceedings? How do major arbitration institutions and arbitration practitioners react to the pandemic? Courts around the world are also adapting to find “remote” alternatives to traditional hearings to ensure ongoing access to justice. The Chinese internet courts and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts are at the frontlines of the use of technology in court services, with increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, DLT, blockchain and smart contracts in case management and adjudication processes. What can be learned from the experience of Chinese internet courts and DIFC Courts?  What will the most effective ODR process look like in the future?Associate Professor Kun Fan’s recent opinion piece “<a href="http://arbitrationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/2020/07/10/the-impact-of-covid-19-on-the-administration-of-justice/?doing_wp_cron=1595386845.8944790363311767578125" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Impact of COVID-19 on the Administration of Justice</a>” at KluwerArbitrationBlog sets out the background for this panel discussion.Associate Professor Kun Fan will lead a panel of eminent dispute resolution academics and practitioners around the world to discuss these issues mentioned above and their regional and global implications.
