LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CourtCall's
remote appearance platform is already in use in courts across
Illinois. Illinois courts need not resort to untested
technologies or mass-market solutions that do not meet the needs of
the courts. The valuable and increasingly limited time of
judges and courtroom staff should not be spent on hours of training
and manipulating technologies during court proceedings. While
many judges and staff are willing to undertake the additional work,
those models are simply not sustainable.
"On May 20, 2020, the Illinois
Supreme Court issued guidelines on how courts should approach
reopening and further commented on the need for remote
appearances. In particular, Section IV. Rethinking Court
Appearances indicates the need for remote appearances in almost
every case type. Forward-thinking courts, attorneys and the
public have enjoyed the benefits of remote appearances for
years. Only CourtCall has the experience to support the
expanded usage that will arise and CourtCall already allows for
fully remote audio and/or video participation for all
participants," said Bob Alvarado,
CourtCall's CEO. "Now courts are evaluating CourtCall's services
well-beyond using the platform for Motions, Status Conferences,
Case Management Hearings and countless other daily hearings in
Civil, Family, Probate, Criminal, Juvenile, Adoptions and Mental
Health cases," Alvarado continued.
CourtCall's services have been used in courts across the nation
for virtually any type of remote hearing, including:
Remote Traffic Court
Remote Arraignment and First Appearance Court
Bail hearings.
Testimony.
Mandatory and Voluntary Settlement Conferences.
Arbitrations and Mediations.
"Illinois judges, court
administrators, attorneys and the public can turn to CourtCall
now for solutions that are already in place and are combined
with more than two decades of experience. Virtual galleries,
entirely private sessions where confidentiality is required,
immediately and easily available subconferences for private
breakout rooms and hallway conferences and electronic signature
with DocuSign are part of the CourtCall offering, in addition to
the common screen sharing, chat and document sharing found on other
mass-market platforms. CourtCall has already built precisely
the services noted in the guidelines. There simply is no
reason for courts to engage in experimentation when our service can
typically be in place in hours or days," Alvarado concluded.
