To request to appear telephonically at a hearing, a motion must be filed a minimum of three business days prior to the hearing. You may then submit a proposed order to the Judicial Assistant via her email with a copy of the motion and a cover letter. Your motion must reflect that you have conferred with all opposing counsel and their position. Your motion must reflect the name of the attorney who will be attending the hearing telephonically if the motion is granted.
The only hearings that do not require a motion for telephonic appearance are motions to set matters for trial. For these hearings, the movant must appear in person and all other attorneys may appear telephonically without filing a motion.
COVID-19 UPDATE: The requirement to file a motion for leave to appear telephonically is temporarily suspended.
