Commenting on the role of technology in the justice system, SMU Assistant Professor of Law and Computer Science (Practice) Lim How Khang said, “Technology is non-negotiable, because that’s the only way we can scale." But technologies that scale well –think Google’s search engine – require much effort to be designed, and he said, “We really need to try a lot harder to figure out where technology can come in, because a lot has been done but we’re still very far behind what is possible.”
