Please note the Judge does not review any evidence until the final hearing. Also, please note that not all videos transfer and that we are unable to open google links.

ZOOM: You may be required to attend your hearing via a virtual Zoom courtroom. To access Zoom, you will need a smartphone or computer/laptop with video capability AND you must register with Zoom.

For all Zoom hearings, video and audio appearance is required for all participants unless otherwise indicated by the Judge.

Participants must have a photo ID to show at check-in.   Please log on 10-15 minutes prior to your hearing time and make sure your device is fully charged. It is your responsibility to provide the Zoom information to any witnesses that you want to testify in your case.   Also, you must be alone in a room during the entire hearing or with your attorney. Minors may NOT appear at any hearing without the Judge's permission. 

If you are unable to access Zoom, please contact the Judicial Assistant immediately once you receive your notice to make alternative arrangements.
