The Florida Bar updated its Best Practices Guide for Professional Electronic Communication to include guidance for both attorneys and judges engaged in electronic hearings or proceedings.
The entire guide is worthwhile and the latest additions do not disappoint. Tips range from basics like ensuring that your computer is fully charged and wearing professional attire to more nuanced issues such as making sure that all listening devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home are turned off and awareness of your own facial expressions.
The guide also includes suggestions on how to efficiently store and access evidence, how to position your camera and what to do if you lose the connection. Check out the entire guide here.
