Just stumbled upon Christabel Narh’s insightful piece on the future of forum non conveniens in light of pandemic-induced technological advancements in the Columbia Law Review. 🌐✨ It’s fascinating to see how the necessity of remote litigation is challenging traditional legal doctrines and potentially paving the way for a more accessible justice system.
