Physical evidence in remote hearings must be presented using the method specified for the locations of the attorney and witness.
Court's wording
The presentation and offering of physical evidence in remote hearings will be conducted in the following manner: 1) if the presenting attorney is in the courtroom and the witness is remote, the Court Coordinator will share the file via Zoom using the “Share Screen” option; 2) if the presenting attorney is remote and the witness is in the courtroom, the Court Coordinator will print and provide copies to the witness; 3) if both the presenting attorney and the witness are remote, the attorney share the file via Zoom using the “Share Screen” option; 4) if both the attorney and the witness are in the courtroom, presentation and offering of evidence will proceed as usual.
The Court will not consider any physical exhibit that is shared via Zoom prior to its admission into evidence.
The subject of the email should be the full cause number and the party’s name.
Exhibits should be saved as the party’s designation and exhibit number (ex: “State’s Exhibit 1”, “Respondent’s Exhibit 2”, etc.).
