E-Courtroom Policies
Courtroom 111 is an “e-courtroom” and provides state of the art equipment for case
presentation.
The e-courtroom does not have a court reporter present. With this new technology, a
court reporter is likely not required and the parties are encouraged to experience the court's
digital recording system before requesting a court reporter. If a court reporter is required, the
court must receive a written request at least 72 hours before the commencement of the
proceeding. Failure to timely request a court reporter will be deemed consent to proceed without
a court reporter.
Do not attempt to set up the court equipment by yourself! In addition, please do not
unplug, move, or in any way alter any of the equipment, microphones, cameras, etc. in the
courtroom.
