Remote Hearings and Access to Justice During COVID-19 and Beyond (2020)

About this report

A guide for courts and justice partners setting up remote proceedings. It names common access-to-justice problems with remote hearings, including for self-represented litigants, people who need interpreters, and people with disabilities, and gathers resources and recommendations to prevent foreseeable barriers.

It also cautions that some case types, such as evictions, may not be suited to remote hearings because of serious due process concerns.
