He analyzes whether the courts will keep the new changes that include more relaxed filing procedures and allowing individuals and attorneys to appear remotely. https://www.penneylawyers.com/ . Every court seems to be using video conferencing via Zoom, BlueJeans, Pexip, Polycom, Cisco, Lifesize, and other platforms to hold hearings remotely during 2020 and 2021. Using any of these platform names is meant to use the term generally as video conferencing. Ever since the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act was passed the courts have changed the way they handle court proceedings. They have allowed more video conferencing and media and public access to electronic criminal proceedings, arraignments, detention hearings, misdemeanor pleas, etc. The courts have had to dramatically change their systems to allow more remote access as individuals were unable to meet in person due to state rules concerning meeting in person during the pandemic. https://www.uscourts.gov/news/2020/04/08/courts-deliver-justice-virtually-amid-coronavirus-outbreak
