The aim is to improve knowledge of justice system users, their interactions across the criminal, family and civil courts and their needs, pathways and outcomes. Statistical quality evaluation processes, data linkage and integration of data sources will be considered in the context of linking administrative datasets from the justice system and public services, including factors which influence recording of administrative data.

This workshop might include development of reporting guidelines in the style of those used in health care, to facilitate integration of routine, observational and experimental evidence.

This workshop will investigate fairness, effectiveness and efficiency of algorithms in legal systems. Definitions of bias, transparency and explainability of decisions will be covered. Good practice in development and evaluation of statistical and machine learning algorithms, including design of randomised studies for evaluation, will be discussed.

This workshop will encourage statisticians with a wide range of expertise and interests to contribute to the
development of the law and legal processes.
