Virtual Hearing Protocol

Please be aware that virtual court appearance standards are no different than in-person conduct expectations:

You must have working sound and video. You cannot appear with a simple phone call.
Do not join the video hearing while multi-tasking, in bed, driving, walking, eating, or in a moving vehicle.
Make sure that you are in a quiet place; cell phones should be muted, doors to rooms closed and disruptions minimized.
Be respectful. Ensure you are properly dressed for court, sitting upright if you are able, and your surroundings are appropriate.
You will be admitted from the waiting room when the court is ready for you.
Make sure you join by video and audio and your first and last names are identified on the screen.
Do not unmute your device and interrupt the proceedings – we will know when you are admitted, the court will check you in when there is a break in the proceedings.
Be patient as there will be other people assigned to the same court docket time.
