Successful Zoom Trial
/We just finished a complete trial in a civil domestic relations protection order entirely by Zoom, including witnesses testifying from remote locations and digital presentation of exhibits.
There were some minor bumps in the Zoom/trial road, but it all went relatively well. Even live trials had (and will always have) proverbial bumps in the road when it comes to lining up witnesses and getting exhibits presented to the trier of fact.
In some ways, Zoom has made this easier. Witnesses are more likely to cooperate if they don’t have to travel to the courthouse and wait outside for their turn – thus their whole day is not ruined.
