If feasible, counsel who will be arguing the motion or speaking at the hearing must dial in from a landline; cellphone attendees other than the primary participating attorneys (such as co-counsel, members of the public, etc.), after noting their appearances, must remain on mute. The Undersigned prefers that the primary advocate attorneys use a landline, but the Court understands that attorneys may now be working remotely and lack land line access, so those attorneys may use cell phones without placing them on mute.Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the court.
