A Friendly Reminder About Zoom Court Hearings from Planet Depos!
/
I was going through some old notes and came across this posting from Planet Depos, the company of previous podcast guest, Billy DiMonte. Titled “Important Reminders for Your Remote Deposition”, the article gives some great thoughts in preparing for your remote deposition. In addition to these, don’t forget the following:
Have a back-up internet connection. You can use your smart phone or tablet as a hot spot should your home or office internet go down.
Watch out for what is behind you! Sometimes we forget what is behind us when we are on camera. Make sure nothing too personal or inappropriate is in view of the camera. Also, make sure you don’t have a messy kitchen or dirty clothes in screen shot. Look for a clean wall or corner of the house where you have as a backdrop if you can’t create a virtual backdrop behind you.
Dress for success! Virtual or not, you are appearing in court. Dress like it! Wear business attire; probably a suit - don’t wear sweats, t-shirts or pajamas!
Happy Lawyering!
