The judicial branch and the administrative judiciary have worked for years to ensure that judges communicate effectively during hearings and trials. With the advent of COVID-19, judges must confront new barriers to effective communication, the online, virtual hearing. Whether conducted in WebEx, Zoom, GoToMeeting, or some other online conferencing platform, judges need to learn how to effectively communicate in the virtual court. Using a series of role plays and videos, a team of communication experts and judges will demonstrate best practices for effective online communication in today’s virtual court.
