Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: c4a5618bfa7836c527dde5c7e2e702b101d92a989785f1dbdd94a9a69eadffae, 63598ed85720c243eca7508eb2bd9199f9ad4cd356942fe31b59a574e509f06e. Sourced from 2 division tabs: https://www.15thcircuit.com/division/v/instructions ; https://www.15thcircuit.com/division/v/news. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
Most hearings set for 30 minutes or less are conducted by Zoom in CV-A; the setting order/notice prevails. Telephonic appearance is allowed if opposing counsel doesn't object — request it when scheduling.
In CV-B the parties agree whether attendance is Zoom or in person; hybrid is permitted, and the Notice of Hearing must state Hearing Room 701 with the division's published Zoom ID (275-150-7351).
In CV-C, appearing by Zoom is a privilege (log in five minutes early; Court hosts); presenting testimony remotely — any hearing or non-jury trial, any length — requires a written motion showing good cause under Rule 2.530(b)(2).
