Tiny Chat 153: Remote Hearings, Oldies, but Goodies
We are feeling a little nostalgic, and so we decided to showcase some of our favorite things that are older, but still cool, like records, board games, and remote hearings.

In this Tiny Chat, we remind everyone of many reasons that remote hearings remain ever important as a strategy to meet the needs of all court users.
