Unlock free →Notices for Trial: You must submit a copy of your e-filed Notice for Trial to the Court by email to OCJudge1@circuit19.org. Your notice for trial must contain a good faith estimate of time required for trial (coordinate with the opposing party). After receipt of the notice for trial you will receive an order setting pretrial/case management conference. All parties and counsel are required to be present at the case management conference. Parties and counsel MAY appear via Zoom. Counsel and their clients are to be in the courtroom and ready for trial in a timely manner. Depending on other emergency matters, the Court will start as soon after the scheduled start time as possible.
Reviewer note: Page sha256: eca6f6c920677eb93f6e64ff4c9b90bac7b391ce7bde58131036ba17573ef1ce. Corpus topic: remote_virtual_platform. Published during the completeness pass — the 2026-07-24 arbitration verified this circuit but published 14 rules against 6,388 verbatim requirements.
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).
