All parties/counsel must be in agreement to the use of Zoom for their hearing, and must notify the Court and indicate the parties who will participate via Zoom prior to the hearing date.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Judge Koch began conducting some virtual hearings via video conferencing using the Zoom platform when all parties and counsel involved in the matter are in agreement regarding the use of Zoom.
The Court’s use of Zoom is to limit the amount of people physically present at the courthouse and to allow participation by those affected by COVID-19 while continuing to serve the public.
If you feel this procedure is a violation of your rights or your client’s rights, you may notify the Court of your objection to the use of Zoom and/or conducting a virtual hearing.
