How Virtual Hearings Work
Platform Selection
Parties agree on a secure video conferencing platform. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex are all supported.
Pre-Hearing Conference
A pre-hearing conference is scheduled to test technology, review procedures, and address any technical concerns before the hearing date.
Document Exchange
All exhibits and hearing materials are exchanged electronically in advance and organized for seamless presentation during the proceeding.
Conduct of Hearing
The hearing proceeds with opening statements, witness testimony, cross-examination, and closing arguments — all conducted via secure video.
Award or Agreement
Following the hearing, a written award or mediated settlement agreement is issued in the same manner as an in-person proceeding.
Technology Requirements
Participating in a virtual hearing requires only basic technology that most parties already have available.
