One of the most significant changes the legal profession has experienced during the pandemic has been the shift from in-person court appearances to remote proceedings using digital meeting platforms. The shift to online court conferences, hearings, and trials creates challenges for lawyers who may be unfamiliar with the technologies that they must now use to litigate their cases. In this podcast, our speakers will discuss ways in which lawyers might hone their skills to be effective in remote proceedings; potential differences in advocacy skills when lawyers appear before a court by in person, via audio conference, or via video conference; challenges when examining or cross-examining witnesses in virtual proceedings; making your case to jurors in remote proceedings and socially distanced courtrooms; and how virtual proceedings may create opportunities for women attorneys and attorneys of color.
