Presented by Catherine Guza, contracted by the Washington State Office of Public Defense and Jason Johnson with the Pierce County Department of Assigned Counsel, attorneys will learn what legal requirements and findings the trial court must make before conducting a virtual trial and other legal considerations to preserve clients’ right to attend the trial, ability to consult confidentiality with counsel, and ability to present a defense. Moreover, practical considerations such as client participation and how to handle exhibits virtually will be discussed.
