-
- Government
Is moving justice online a good idea? In British Columbia they have done just that, with a new online tribunal handling things like small claims and property disputes. Could something like this work in Britain? Joshua Rozenberg reports from Vancouver.
Also in this week's programme: law is an immensely popular subject for students, but are they given sufficient warnings about how difficult it will be to find work as a solicitor or barrister - especially in the field of criminal law?
And does Donald Trump have the ability to pardon himself were he to commit a crime?
Producer: Neil Koenig
Researcher: Diane Richardson.
