Source of truth

All party and non-party witnesses must have access to audio-video conferencing and download Zoom prior to the scheduled hearing. If your hearing is set for 2 hours or more you should plan to stagger your witnesses’ entry times so they are not sitting idle for hours on end. Please instruct witnesses that they will be muted upon joining the meeting and may be routed to a virtual waiting room to await being called to testify. Please ask your witnesses to ensure that their full name appears in Zoom upon entry so that they may be easily identified by the General Magistrate. They can “re-name” themselves if their full names do not initially appear.
