Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I had never been in court, but would assume that when you are called to appear into court, you are not given zoom link just in case. Right?

Everything has changed since the pandemic. Some courts still allow remote appearances from my understanding

Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

Minor offenses can be quicker doing it this way. I wonder if it has an affect on the case result though?
