What is remote litigation?

Remote litigation refers to the process of handling legal disputes and court cases through virtual means, such as video conferencing, electronic filing, and online communication. This allows attorneys, clients, and witnesses to participate in hearings, trials, and depositions without being physically present in a courtroom. Remote litigation has become increasingly common due to advancements in technology and the need for flexibility, especially during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers benefits such as reduced travel time and costs, but also requires familiarity with digital tools and adherence to court protocols for virtual proceedings.
