Upcoming Schedule

Public Access to Oral Arguments by Videoconference

Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings (including those held by telephone or videoconference).

The media must request an order from the court before any portion of the oral argument proceedings is recorded in any manner (Media Request to Photograph, Record, or Broadcast, form MC-500). The form must be filed with the court at least five court days before the proceeding unless good cause is shown. A completed proposed Order on Media Request to Permit Coverage (form MC-510) must be filed with the request. The justice assigned to the proceeding will rule on the request.

Electronic Devices in the Courtrooms

The only laptops and tablets allowed in the courtroom without prior written approval from the court are those to be used by counsel and second chair counsel or self-represented litigants to aid in presenting oral arguments. They cannot be used to display demonstrative evidence or for any other purpose.

Cell phones and other electronic devices, including “smart” watches (except assistive listening devices), are prohibited in the courtroom.

Devices must be:

  • Silenced and placed in “airplane mode”*

No Audio or Video recording or the taking of photographs is allowed unless approved pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 1.150. Any person who fails to comply with these restrictions will be removed from the courtroom.

*Airplane mode is a setting that, when activated, suspends the device's wireless features and limits interference with the courtroom sound system.
