Remote Participation in Court Proceedings

This section on the use of distance participation technology to conduct bankruptcy hear­ings and trials provides an overview of general considerations, and then examines separately the use of the teleconferencing and videoconferencing.

Four online publications from the Administrative Office provide important

http://jnet.ao.dcn/information-technology/courtroom-technology/guidelines and
the more specific links below. Courtroom Technology Audiovisual Overview provides
an introduction to the audiovisual technology used in the federal
courtrooms. Its purpose is to provide technical information for readers who may
not be familiar with AV concepts and is a good source for help in understanding
standard audiovisual terminology. Additional guidance and standards are presented in
companion documents, the Audiovisual Infrastructure Standard, Audiovisual
Endpoint Baseline, and Design Narrative. Other useful online resources are the
design line drawings and the standard schedule for bankruptcy courtroom
technology.
