For example, videoconferencing is widely believed to be one of the COVID-19 trends that will be most likely to stick once the pandemic is over. Lawyers have adopted to Zoom like fish take to water, in part because the convenience and cost savings of videoconferencing are highly appealing. That’s why, according to Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan L. Hecht, videoconferencing is here to stay:
Hecht, who is also president of the Conference of Chief Justices, expresses confidence videostreaming technology will be used in Texas courts even after the current pandemic. He predicts other states will likely do the same because of the benefits the technology provides lawyers and court personnel who live in geographically large states or rural areas.
