We are honored by your presence at this event at which we will together explore developments in information technologies, the use of such technologies in the justice system, and the broader societal ramifications of such use. In pondering what to say to you in my welcoming remarks, I was struck by the fact that this conference is one of firsts. Let me explain. This is the first major conference to be held at the new home of the University of Washington School of Law, William H. Gates Hall, a building appropriately named for a distinguished lawyer and citizen who was instrumental in the creation of our state's Access to Justice Board in 1994. I am aware also that this is the first major conference ever dedicated entirely to the subject of technology, values, and the justice system. Finally, this conference will lead to a first ever symposium edition of the Washington Law Review devoted to technology and consisting of scholarly writings engendered by this conference. Another hallmark of this conference is that it is one of collaboration and diversity. On the collaboration side, it is co-hosted by the University of Washington School of Law, the Washington Law Review, and the Access to Justice Technology Bill of Rights Committee of this state's Access to Justice Board. Co-sponsors are the Information School of the University of Washington and the Shidler Center for Law, Commerce, and Technology. Insofar as diversity is concerned, we have representatives here from all of the aforementioned organizations as well as a large number of other persons who bring a wide variety of perspectives to this event. The program presenters are also diverse. Although we will hear from lawyers and judges, we will also benefit . Remarks made at Technology, Values, and the Justice System, a symposium held on January 16-17, 2004 at the University of Washington School of Law. t Chief Justice, Washington State Supreme Court.
