Preparing for Court

Virtual Hearings

Updated: June 27, 2024

How can I request a remote hearing?

To find out the options in your area, contact the local courthouse in which your case will be heard. These options are constantly evolving, and may be different in different counties even within the same state. In some places, it might be up to the individual judge who decides your case whether to conduct hearings virtually or in person. Therefore, it’s important to find out the procedure in the specific courthouse you will file your case in.
