Seven months after COVID-19 made remote legal proceedings the “new normal,” Florida Bar members report many challenges associated with various aspects of video conferencing, a recent survey shows.

Some 2,003 Bar members responded to a September 18 survey that the Board Technology Committee conducted to help design projects that are intended to make digital life easier for Florida lawyers.

Florida courts relied mostly on remote technology to dispose of 2.5 million cases this fiscal year, but the survey suggests that opposition to its use, while limited, may never completely disappear.
