The parties shall continue to comply with the Uniform Trial Order. Even if this case is unable to go to trial, the parties should have everything ready to go once jurors are able to return.

But again, ALL outstanding discovery, including outstanding motions should be completed, and the parties are still required to mediate the case.

LOCAL RULE 16 | TECHNOLOGY

Please see AOSC21-17, The Supreme Court (excluding jury selection and trial proceedings) allows for, to the maximum extent feasible, use of equipment for the remote conduct of proceedings to facilitate the efficient and expeditious processing of cases.

AOSC21-17 states that remote jury selection and trial proceedings (witnesses, etc) may be remotely conducted if all parties consent to participating in the remote proceeding. The court will allow for remote proceedings in trial as long as the parties consent.

Further, the court requires that each party is responsible for their own technology. The parties may use the court's zoom link if they wish but they shall each be responsible for setting up the remote conference so that direct and cross examination can be effectuated. The court has conducted multiple bench trials with some remote witnesses and a jury trials wherein the parties agreed to some remote witnesses and it worked very smoothly. (Please make sure that the witness has the appropriate internet connection as well).

LOCAL RULE 43 | APPELLATE DIVISION

Phone calls to Judicial Assistants regarding the status of filed documents are inappropriate. It is for that reason that ALL parties are directed to review the Guidelines for Communications with the Appellate Division and to govern himself/herself accordingly. The Guidelines for Communications with the Appellate Division provides that parties shall not “call or email Judges, Judicial Assistants, or Staff Counsel.” Instead, the parties shall bring matters to the Court’s attention by filing an appropriate motion and following the procedures set forth in Administrative Order Number 2019-06-GEN.

LOCAL RULE 44 | PREQUALIFY JURORS

The parties do not have to be present if they are unable or do not wish to come to the Prequalification of Jurors, the Judge will be the only one who will ask the questions about the difficulties to serve as a jury during the number of days of the trial. This will ensure that on the day of jury selection, the group of jurors chosen will not have a problem serving for a number of days or more.

However, we need to have the questionnaires that the parties agreed to use one week prior to prequalification. The Judge will hand out the questionnaire for the returning juror to fill out, and the parties can get copies the next day if they send a carrier to get them.
