Lawyers weigh-in on continuing remote proceedings
Jorge Piedra
A Florida Bar survey suggests that most members would prefer conducting routine and non-evidentiary proceedings remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, but not trials.
“We had a very healthy response,” said board member Jorge Piedra, who chaired a COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery Task Force subcommittee that produced the survey. “I was pleased with the return, not surprised by the results, and I think it’s very, very useful information for the courts and everyone else to use a road map to proceed.”
