What we can learn from Texas Family Court to Conduct Zoom Proceedings

A lot. Here are some links to what the courts in Texas are doing to meet the physical shutdown of the courts due to the Corona virus.

They are proceeding with some full hearings with witnesses using Zoom sessions hosted by the Court, and they are maintaining the open public hearing nature of the proceedings by streaming to YouTube.

Here is a link to TV coverage of what they are doing:

This is a resource page on how to make Zoom Court proceedings work which is very good:

Here is a link to a recording of two judges and a senior family law lawyer about what they are doing to conduct urgent matters. I would suggest getting a coffee and watching it.

Stay healthy.

We are all in this together.
