Does the idea of courts going virtual affect your desire to practice law?

Post by tlsadmin3 » Thu Mar 18, 2021 6:34 pm

Imagine attending court without leaving your home. A judge sits in their office, connecting to the courtroom through cameras and microphones. Instead of a jury being called into the room, they are selected online at random to provide their input on cases where it is applicable. Could this be the future of law?

Virtual hearings are already becoming increasingly popular as a result of COVID-19. In West Virginia, justices that normally hear special cases from law students are conducting those hearings online, and this trend will likely continue even after the pandemic slows down and life returns to normal.

Does the prospect of attending court virtually have any impact on your desire to practice law? Why or why not?
