A free virtual summit is scheduled to be held on Friday, November
13 and continue the following Friday, November 20 from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM EST
each day.
The summit is being organized by the National Institute for
Trial Advocacy (NITA) and the Online Courtroom Project. The conference writes “As courts around the country have struggled to continue operations in the face of the unprecedented
coronavirus pandemic, each state and the federal courts have issued their own
set of guidelines to try and resume trials. However, each jurisdiction, and
each judge has also implemented their own set of practices, given their
resources, staffing, budget, and judgment. While most of these national,
regional, and individual practices have been conducted on a trial and error
basis, the goal of this conference is to provide practical recommendations on
procedures, resources, and skills for both courts and attorneys who are looking
to conduct jury trials in this challenging time.
This conference is free of charge. Attendees are encouraged
to donate to a designated charity to assist underserved communities gain
greater access to technology and the internet.
