Reviewer note: Source sha256: aad5589158f9677b7baf02d484672fb43cab7b051d8dbddc044481c3fe8ff749. Corpus categories folded into this record: remote/Zoom. Published during the completeness pass — the 2026-07-24 arbitration verified 67 verbatim requirements across this bench but published only 6 rules.
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).
