Free high-speed Wi-Fi is now available for all legal teams and other official court users in the Supreme Court. Other visitors to the court will continue to be able to access the external BT Openzone Wi-Fi service, which offers good coverage in the building. Jenny Rowe, chief executive of the Supreme Court, said: “We recognise that the justice system is entering the digital era and we are keen that the Supreme Court remains at the forefront of this move. By embracing modern technologies and IT developments we can ensure that we are providing a quality service and improving the standard of resources available to legal professionals using the court. Giving free access to information in the court room at the click of a button means that we are delivering better access to justice.”
