Remote Hearing Guidelines
  • Do not speak or identify yourself when you enter the hearing but be prepared to indicate your presence when your matter is called by the Commissioner.
  • Keep your microphone (phone/computer) muted until it is time for you to speak.
  • Use *6 to unmute your telephone.
  • If possible, avoid using the speaker phone feature on your phone.  If using a computer, consider using a headset with microphone.  In either case, please speak slowly and clearly, and to the extent possible, eliminate any background noises in your environment.
  • Do not put your call to your court hearing on HOLD.  Many phone systems have “hold music” that plays when Hold is activated.  Connections disrupting a hearing with hold music or other interference will be terminated, and your matter may be stricken.
