Ask for a remote hearing 

These are general instructions. You can get specific instructions from your court.

As soon as possible, you should ask a court clerk or the Self-Help Center how to ask for a video or phone hearing. You may have different options for how you can access the hearing. 
Some courts allow you to access a hearing by video or phone through a remote appearance platform (like Zoom or Teams). If audio only, you will get a phone number to call into the hearing.
Some courts allow you to access a hearing by phone through a telephone appearance provider.

Get more tips if you have a remote hearing (by computer or phone).
Before you go

It’s common to feel nervous about coming to court. But planning ahead can help you feel more at ease and be prepared. 

Know where you’re going and how long it will take to get there 
You could miss your turn if you’re late. If the court thinks you aren’t coming, the judge may decide without you. 

Make plans to arrive early.

Think about traffic and where to park or figure out how to get there on public transportation.

Write down the phone number of the courtroom clerk. In case of an emergency, you can call and tell the clerk that you may be late.

Your court’s website may have information about where to park and whether you’ll need money to park. 
If you can, try to go to the courtroom where your hearing (or trial) will be held the week before.
