Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 32 of 37 published requirements (86%) still present on 2 source pages (/bradford-family-law-division-procedures/, /courts-judges/judge-george-m-wright/judge-wrights-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence LOWERED to medium until a human re-reads the source. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
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).
