  • If calling in, call from a phone with a good connection.
  • If you are represented by an attorney, talk to your attorney before the hearing date to discuss your case.
  • You should remain in a muted status until your case is called to reduce background noise. When your case is called, unmute your device. The Judge will ask you to identify yourself, speak loudly and clearly.
  • Follow directions from the Judge when it is your turn to speak.
  • Hearings will be recorded using the court recording system.
  • You may leave the ZOOM virtual hearing after your case has been resolved.
