In 2020, a global shift occurred that prompted many industries to embrace new technology. Legal proceedings that previously followed strict in-person protocols suddenly shifted to a virtual environment and turned to platforms like Zoom for solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in-person hearings have now resumed in most jurisdictions, hybrid court proceedings<\/a> are here to stay. This new reality is the driving force behind a new partnership between Zoom, BEINCOURT and Carahsoft, who share the mutual goal of supporting a seamless transition from the virtual courtroom to a hybrid one in jurisdictions across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the main benefit of virtual legal proceedings initially was continuity, other benefits quickly became apparent. Courtrooms using Zoom were able to expand access to a broader audience and make proceedings easier, more accessible and less financially burdensome for the parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, regarding court proceedings involving domestic violence or emotional abuse, the use of video technology provided victims peace-of-mind by allowing them to pursue justice through the legal system without having to share a room with their alleged abusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, a hybrid model allows governments to reap the benefits of in-person proceedings and virtual ones. Even so, many courts need help choosing and procuring the right technology to enable this transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJurisdictions are at different stages of their technology journeys,\u201d said Matt Mandrgoc, Head of U.S. Public Sector at Zoom. \u201cWith physical proceedings back underway, many courts are struggling to integrate video conferencing technology with traditional proceedings. That\u2019s why this partnership and Carahsoft\u2019s support is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology in the Hybrid Courtroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As leaders in their respective spaces, BEINCOURT and Zoom are particularly well positioned to offer federal, state, and local governments a scalable, seamless way to support hybrid hearings. It is crucial for those physically in the courtroom to be able to interact with those joining virtually \u2014 just as it is crucial for the judge to remain in control of the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
