Unlock free →The Eighth Judicial Circuit has adopted the Zoom platform to conduct remote hearings. Judge Groeb’s office is currently using this platform for remote status conferences, pre-trial conferences and other non-evidentiary hearings only. When these proceedings are conducted via Zoom, the Court will be hosting the hearings and there is no cost to any participant. All participants will need a computer with a web cam and microphone (preferred) or a tablet with Internet to access the Zoom application. Please make arrangements well in advance of your hearing to secure a location with adequate Internet/Wi-Fi connectivity. You can download the application and register for a free account at www.zoom.com.

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 16 of 18 published requirements (89%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-robert-k-groeb/judge-robert-k-groebs-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 The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which.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).
