Parties must use the Bridge Line for telephonic appearances, wait for Division notification before dialing in, and mute their phones.
To facilitate telephonic appearances, the Bridge Line (Commissioner Bodow), is 1-855-506-9695, Code 162746#. As soon as you dial-in to that number, you are likely to be in the courtroom and on the record. Counsel, please advise your clients of the same. No party or counsel should call that number and automatically announce or inquire while another proceeding is ongoing. Thank you for helping keep our record of proceedings clean and timely. Please wait for an email or notification from Division Staff that your hearing is beginning and that you should call the Bridge Line. When entering the bridge line, please mute your phone so all participants do not hear your background noise. If people are talking, please do not interrupt to announce your presence on the line, but rather, wait for a break in the conversation to state your appearance.
