Multi-Site Evaluation of Online Dispute Resolution Programs
RSI is conducting an evaluation of ODR (online dispute resolution) programs in certain small claims courts in Hawaii and Texas in partnership with the University of California, Davis, and The Pew Charitable Trusts. This evaluation examines the impact of ODR on the court and litigants. For courts, the focus will be on efficiency. For litigants, the focus will be on access to justice with an eye toward determining whether certain groups within society tend to experience the benefits or costs associated with ODR more than others. An initial report is expected in mid-2021.
