The court uses Zoom to facilitate remote court appearances. See below for connection information for each courtroom, case type, time, phone numbers, meeting numbers and passcodes. Connection Information Remote Appearance Instructions, Requirements, & Information “Remote appearance” or “appear remotely” means the appearance of a party at a proceeding through the use of remote technology. “Proceeding” means a conference, hearing, or any other matter before the court, including an evidentiary hearing or trial. “Remote proceeding” means a proceeding conducted in whole or in part through the use of remote technology. “Remote technology” means technology that provides for the transmission of video and audio signals or audio signals alone. This phrase is meant to be interpreted broadly and includes a computer, tablet, telephone, cellphone, or other electronic or communications device. Remote appearances refer to appearances for a court hearing made by video or telephone. “Recording or Broadcasting Restrictions” means those appearing remotely must not record or broadcast the remote appearance or hearing in compliance with California Rules of Court, rule 1.150. A violation of this rule may result in the imposition of sanctions under this rule. Remote Appearance Requirements Parties and non-parties appearing remotely must follow the general rules and requirements below: Those appearing remotely must ensure that they have sufficient battery power for the entire hearing. Access to charging equipment is recommended. Connect to the court hearing at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to your scheduled hearing. Parties should mute their device and not speak until it is clear that it is their turn to speak or when their case is called. Speak directly into the microphone on the device used to connect to the court hearing. Participants will be asked to identify themselves when the court clerk does the initial roll call and each time they speak. Speak clearly, slowly, and avoid interrupting others. Participate with the same degree of courtesy, decorum, use of appropriate language, and courtroom etiquette as required for an in-person appearance. If appearing by video, participants must dress appropriately in the same manner as they would for an in-person court appearance. Remote appearances require sufficient internet speed and connectivity to stream video, a device capable of capturing and displaying a clear audio and visual stream, and an indoor location with limited background noise and distraction. It is the sole responsibility of the party appearing by video to ensure the above criteria are met. The court may continue the hearing and require an in-person appearance if clear communication is not possible by video or if there is a distraction or disturbance that interferes with the hearing. Remote appearances with audio only or by telephone require sufficient connectivity and an indoor location with limited background noise and distraction. It is the sole responsibility of the party appearing by telephone to ensure the above criteria are met. The court may continue the hearing and require an in-person appearance if clear communication is not possible by phone or if there is a distraction or disturbance that interferes with the hearing. Judicial Approval and Court Discretion Regarding Remote Appearances Remote appearances for civil cases (as defined in California Rules of Court, rule 1.6(3)) and certain criminal misdemeanor and traffic cases (as defined in California Rules of Court, rule 1.6(7)) must be approved by a Judicial Officer prior to the hearing. Nothing limits the court’s ability to order personal appearance instead of a video or telephone appearance. The court retains full discretion to conclude the video or telephonic appearance on its own motion and reschedule the hearing for another date and time due to delay or other concern due to disruption, noise, misconduct, a communication problem, a technical problem, other issue, or in the interest of justice. Civil Case Remote Appearances Parties and/or attorneys that wish to appear remotely will need to complete the mandatory Judicial Council Form, Notice of Remote Appearance RA-010, and the Judicial Council Form, Order Regarding Remote Appearance RA-020, and submit them to the court clerk and have your Notice served on all parties entitled to receive notice of the proceedings.
