The video appearance technology Webex is now available for remote oral argument appearances in the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Appellate Division.
Webex provides a safe and convenient alternative to in-person appearances, allowing allows parties to appear in court via video without having to come to court.
To appear remotely for an oral argument:
- Access the “courtroom” 15 minutes prior to your scheduled hearing.
- You must be visible, and your statements must be audible to all other participants (audio and video is required to participate remotely).
- Test your equipment before your hearing. If you are not present when your case is ready to be heard, you will be deemed to have waived oral argument, and the appeal will be deemed to have been submitted on the brief(s) of the non-appearing party or parties.
Appearing via Webex provides the following benefits:
- Promotes convenience;
- Reduces the number of court visitors, which assists with social distancing protocols;
- Eliminates driving and parking costs; and,
- Saves commute time to courthouses.
