Many court departments now offer services and assistance virtually. See remote/virtual court services. In addition, certain types of hearings are being conducted remotely through video conference for the convenience of court users.
The Trial Court has created computer stations in select courthouses for users to take part in Zoom hearings or connect with Court resources. Each room contains two computers with Internet connection and the Zoom application installed. Users may access Zoom hearings or Court resources by entering the Zoom ID and/or passcode for the specific Zoom meeting.
These locations were chosen due to the presence of multiple departments and the perceived needs of the surrounding communities. Users are not limited to using these Zoom rooms for businesses in the same location. For example, if you have a virtual hearing with Essex Probate and Family Court, you can participate through the Zoom Room at the George Covett courthouse in Brockton.
You may also access virtual Trial Court services at a local library. Learn about the Public Library Initiative or find a partner library.
