A surety is a person who comes to court and promises to a judge (or a justice of the peace) to supervise an accused person while they are out on bail.

"...Another reason why Canadian law firms seemed to lag behind the rest of the world in embracing technology is because, unlike the comparatively modern justice system in the USA, Canadian courts were still operating in the dark ages until COVID-19 happened.

It's almost like they financially benefit from resisting innovation (note the hint of sarcasm)."
