Ideas:
“  I write about the use of “support services” methods of making legal services affordable for middle and lower income people, thus solving the “access to justice” problem. I also write about the relationship between the use of evidence produced by electronic systems and devices, to the procedural laws concerning the use of such evidence in legal proceedings. My ideas are the product of my experience as a practising lawyer, which is summarized at: http://www.slaw.ca/author/chasse/ .  ”
