The US legal system is not virtual. As the Supreme Court has stated, the right to in-person confrontation has “a lineage that traces back to the beginnings of Western legal culture.” Reminders of the importance of physical presence in the courtroom are everywhere: the Constitution guarantees the right to trial by jury, the Supreme Court has held that there is a qualified First Amendment right to attend court proceedings, and out-of-court statements are generally inadmissible. These are only a few examples. But what happens when these important rights collide with equally important public health considerations? Are virtual solutions legally permissible/technically possible/strategically desirable? Will today’s temporary work-arounds become tomorrow’s best practices? Is remote litigation the wave of the future? What risks and opportunities does it present?
