In person jury trials are picking back up. Appellate courts are starting to meet in person. But Nicole Westbrook, a corporate litigator with Denver-based Jones & Keller, says remote proceedings in arbitrations are likely here to stay.

“It saves so much time and so much money for the clients,” said Westbrook, as part of a webcast presented last week by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. “Think about it: You don’t have to fly your expert witness in on the weekend to prep him and then he stays until Tuesday when it’s his day to testify during the arbitration. Maybe he stays one more night and then flies out. All of that is time. All of that is money,” she said.
