How to Prepare For Video Conference Court Hearing Sessions

 


Video conference court hearings are one of the most comfortable developments in legal services. Despite all the pros, it can be challenging for those not acquainted with technology. In this blog, we’re here to help you prepare for the same, especially from a professional standpoint. 

How to prepare for video conferencing hearing sessions

Although judges, prosecutors, and the legal team would be aware, it is highly likely that those attending for the first time may feel overwhelmed with the rules and regulations. 

So that more emphasis can be directed towards the case rather than the periphery of necessary precautions, we’ve enlisted a short but quick guide to prepare for video conferencing sessions. 

Keep in mind the following points for a smooth hearing process.

 

  • Mark the date and time of the hearing

To avoid any last-minute rush or panic, it would help if you mark the date and time of the hearing in your calendar or use a device notification app. Now that you have marked the date and time, check the device you plan to use for the court hearing.

 

  • Gather and keep all the essential documents required in the court in one place

Gather all the essential documents that you need to produce in the court session, including the identification cards, and place them in a single folder. This will help in accessing them easily at the time of the session.

 

  • Read and understand the instructions

While preparing for the court session, login to the official page and read all the instructions for a virtual court hearing, in case of doubts, clear them from your near ones or advocates to avoid any mistakes on the hearing day.

 

  • Select an appropriate spot in the house

This is to protect your privacy and the security of your dear ones.

 

These include:

1.     Selecting a clear background

2.     Avoiding the display of family photos within the frame

3.     Choosing a room free of disturbances 

 

  • Try muting your microphone when it's not your turn to talk to the court

Microphones are sensitive and hence can capture the noises in your area. Noises as trivial as paper turning or typing can be heard, which is disturbing. So make sure to mute your microphone immediately after you are done speaking to the court.
