Local Rule 16.3(A) leaves the remote appearance information to the court's public website and makes the party appearing remotely responsible for complying with it: the Remote Appearance Calendars effective March 2, 2026 - Departments 1 to 4 (Judges Lunas, Markham, Langan, and Harry) and the Clearlake Branch, day by day, with Veteran's Court (Lakeport) on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays, and Drug Court (Clearlake) at 1:30 pm Tuesday; calendars marked "(In-Person)" require an in-person appearance, the rest are conducted by Zoom (parties in person or by Zoom; defendants by Zoom if personal appearance is waived; counsel remotely only if the client is also appearing remotely); before the hearing (Local Rule 16, the Zoom application, audio without video allowed), on the day (power and connection, the courtroom's Zoom meeting information, joining at least 5 minutes before, signing in with one's true first and last name) and during it (microphone muted); etiquette; recording prohibited unless the judicial officer grants permission (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 1.150(c) & (d)); the courthouse contacts; the calendar's PDF version (held in build/lake_catalog.py: it marks the in-person calendars in red and differs from this table on several calendars - a review task).

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 Lake build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-lake/pages/general-information__covid-19-information__remote-appearance-information.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-10; 626199 bytes, sha256 8dd4c7d12cf4729d67b7a492e62bed5b4d06a68d67dbed08ec25619163bab36a) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 2 items; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. The page's five tables - each department's week, its days with their calendars - are set column by column, each day with its calendars (build/transpose_tables.py, San Benito's lesson); its three proofs pass (the same characters as the row-by-row composition, a second reader's columns, every column's text in the composition). Review note: The page's Remote Appearance Calendars and the courtroom calendar PDF it links (both effective March 2, 2026; the PDF held, build/lake_catalog.py) differ: the PDF prints Department 2's Tuesday felony law and motion calendars, its Thursday long cause preliminary hearings and Department 1's Wednesday short cause calendar in red (in person), where the page does not mark them "(In-Person)"; for the Clearlake Branch's Tuesday the PDF prints "9:00 Title IV-D" and "1:30 Juvenile Drug Court", the page "9:00 Title IV-D 1:30 Title IV-D 4:00 Drug Court" and, below the table, "Drug Court (Clearlake) 1:30 pm Tuesday"; the PDF adds that civil and family contested hearings may be direct set Thursdays or Fridays, not Wednesdays, and its legend's last sentence is cut off at the page edge. The Courtrooms and Holidays page (held) still prints the calendars effective June 16, 2025 - which version governs is a review task. The page names each department's judge by surname only. Its contact block prints the Lakeport Division at 255 N. Forbes Street, 4th Floor; the court's location pages print the Lakeport Courthouse at 675 Lakeport Blvd., and its notice of July 7, 2026 says the new Lakeport Courthouse is slated to open in the fall of 2026 - a review task asks for a re-read after the move.
