Virtual court appearances are now a common fixture of New Jersey's legal landscape. As our Supreme Court has recognized: "Attorneys, parties, and judges have praised the reduced time and cost associated with virtual proceedings for brief and straightforward matters. They also noted there are fewer scheduling conflicts and requests for continuances." (Order 11/18/21) More recently, as in-person appearances have expanded, the court added that by "continuing to leverage virtual technologies, the court today can effectively balance in person and virtual proceedings in a way that maximizes access and fairness and supports meaningful participation and timely justice." (Order 10-27-22)
