The electronic courtroom is here, whether litigants like it or not. The Riverside County Superior Court Appellate Division affirmed several lower court rulings that judges can oversee trials over traffic disputes via videoconferencing technology without a defendant's consent.
The July decision comes in a consolidated appeal, in which the appellants were accused of various violations of the California Vehicle Code in seven separate trials. Appellants in each of the trials objected to the judge opting to oversee the cases via video conferencing rather than being physically present.
