Supervising Judge Hurwitz’s August 6, 2020 Announcement

One of the online questions that we didn’t get to yesterday asked why L.A. Courts are doing live hearings in family law.

In today’s DJ (8/6/20), on page 3, at the bottom “LA court expands remote appearances”, paragraph 4:

“The court also announced that LACourtConnect will expand for scheduling remote appearances for family law cases,

specifically for matters on calendar from Aug. 17 to 30 days thereafter….”

Paragraph 8:

“…’We are the biggest ship, so we don’t turn easily’, Brazile said in a recent Zoom conference discussing the expansion of remote appearances…”

Paragraph 9:

“The court strongly recommends attorneys use Webex, LACourtConnect, and other remote technology when available to make appearances or conduct other court business, Brazile said.”

Thanks,

Lon Hurwitz
