The Juvenile Court has a computer in the lobby for any necessary party who is unable to attend the hearing via videoconferencing or teleconference due to a lack of technology (i.e. no smartphone or web camera).

If a party unexpectedly experiences technical difficulties during the hearing, they should immediately disconnect and log back into the hearing using the above meeting ID. The hearing will be suspended to give parties the opportunity to rejoin. Intentional disconnections from the hearing will be noted on the record and the hearing will continue.

If using a mobile device, please ensure the device is charged or connected to power.

When you enter the hearing, please use the mute feature on the application.

When you enter the hearing using videoconferencing, please ensure that you are dressed appropriately for Court. These are formal court proceedings and all parties are expected to conduct themselves as they would while inside the physical courtroom.

Upon joining the hearing, all participants will enter a virtual “waiting room” and will remain there until the hearing begins.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Juvenile Court Clerk at 770-278-7761.
