David Steel SC爵士是和William Huang同期的牛津大學畢業生。他提倡了無紙化審訊的實際效果和優勢。
然而，對於那些對使用電腦並不熟悉的人來說，通過顯示器看文件，是有一定的困難。再者，很多人都是同時使用紙張記錄和電腦工作的，這對他們亦會做成不便。更重要的是，這個系統根本就不便宜。
無紙化審訊的優勢就是它能夠解決文件日益增多的問題。不過，從電腦列印出來的文件的真確性就值得我們關注。而且，在文件復原、修復或掃描的過程中，亦可能會出現錯誤。David爵士也認為他自己未能夠駕馭無紙審訊所須要的技術。
觀眾都非常欣賞David爵士的看法；另一位講者也認為傳統的紙張審訊和無紙化審訊均有其可取之處，但無紙化審訊將會是一個趨勢。
Sir David Steel SC
He was an Oxford graduate and a contemporary of Mr. William Huang who talked about the real effects and advantages of the paperless trial.
However, there are some drawbacks for those who are not familiar with the use of computers and the reading of documents through monitors. Indeed difficulty is posed on those who work and use both paper notes and computers. Furthermore the system itself is not cheap at all.
The upshot of having paperless trials is that it tackles the problem of proliferation of documents. However caution and real concern must be taken as to the authenticity of documents printed out from the computer as “originals”. Also mistakes may happen in the process of document recovery, restoration and even when scanning documents into computers. He was not that fast nor advanced enough with technology to dispense with the use of paper bundles at trial. These views were well appreciated and acknowledged by the audience and even a co-panel speaker stated that he was a hybrid of both although he acknowledged that the future of the road was heading towards a paperless system.
