Definition and Authorization 1. “Remote appearances” refer to appearances for a court hearing made by remote technology by a party, as defined by California Rules of Court, Rule 3.672(c). 2. Remote appearances are generally authorized for civil and juvenile dependency matters pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 367.75 and California Rule of Court, Rule 3.670 and 3.672, probate and mental health matters pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure §367.76, juvenile justice matters pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code §679.5. Remote appearances may be authorized for criminal matters in select circumstances and proceedings pursuant to Penal Code §§ 977, 977.2, and 977.3. B. Notice to parties must be provided for each hearing unless a notice for remote appearances for the duration of a case or a waiver of notice by stipulation has been made, pursuant to California Rule of Court, Rule §3.672(f). C. General Rules 1. By choosing to voluntarily appear remotely for any case type, all parties and attorneys acknowledge and agree to the following general Rules regarding a remote appearance. a. All Rules of courtroom civility and decorum apply to a remote appearance. A remote appearance is the equivalent of an in-person appearance and any actions that occur in the hearing are subject to all applicable rules, statutes, and laws and are enforceable in the same manner as if the person was in the courtroom. b. It is the sole responsibility of the person appearing remotely, either by audio or video, to ensure they have sufficient internet speed and/or connectivity as well as an appropriate indoor location with no background noise or disruptions. By voluntarily appearing remotely, the person appearing remotely agrees to appear from an indoor location free from distraction or other noise. The Court retains the discretion, in the interest of justice, to terminate the remote appearance if there is a disruption, noise, misconduct, a communication problem, a technical problem, or other issues which interfere with the proper hearing of a matter. c. If the person making the remote appearance is not connected at the time the Court calls the case, or if the person has insufficient video or audio quality during the hearing, the Court shall have the following options: 1) The Court may consider alternative communication with the person who is not connected or whose connection is problematic. 2) The Court may consider continuing the hearing and/or requiring in-person appearances. 3) In the interest of justice, the Court may proceed with the hearing and/or make rulings in the absence of an appearance. d. Remote participants shall not have any scheduling conflicts when making their appearance and shall be available to participate in the hearing when the case is called by the Court. e. Remote participants shall not be engaged in any other distracting activity while participating in the scheduled hearing. f. Remote participants shall not use profile images, screen names, virtual backgrounds, or other displayed materials that contain inappropriate, offensive, disruptive, or otherwise distracting content. The Court may require removal of such materials or terminate the remote appearance if necessary to maintain decorum. g. Recording or photographing a remote proceeding is prohibited, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 1.150. D. For all matters in which a remote appearance is authorized, connection information will be provided through the Court’s approved remote appearance platform as indicated on the Court’s website. Parties and attorneys must self-register for remote appearances, if approved, through that platform. In certain circumstances, the Court may schedule the remote appearance on behalf of agencies or non-parties. However, the connection link and all reminder emails will be sent directly from the platform. E. The Court provides for remote appearances as listed below.
