ANNOUNCEMENT DIRECTED TO ALL PERSONS APPEARING BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEO CONFERENCE:
In times like these the need for professionalism is even more paramount. Many of us are experiencing multi-party telephonic and video hearings for the first time.PLEASE:
2) State your name when you begin to speak, especially in multi-party hearings and when a court reporter is in attendance.
3) Please be patient, the Court is attending to multiple matters at the same time.
4) Mute your phone and please be mindful of background noise when you are not speaking.
5) When attending hearings via ZOOM, please remember that you are on camera and everyone involved can see you. If you do not want to be seen you can click on the icon to just attend via audio.
No double bookings, “back to back” hearings, or space the hearing throughout the day in several time slots is allowed. You can book (motion(s)) only one case per day on the Special Set calendar. This is a fairness issue. There are many cases per division and limited resources, so each limits the “taking” of time slots. Violations are subject to sanctions and subject to cancellation by the court without notice.
