How Legal Proceedings Have Changed After COVID-19

One of the main changes in the way that legal proceedings have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is that the majority of legal proceedings now take place online rather than in person. Prior to the pandemic, depositions, hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and jury trials all took place in person. For our client, this means that there were more travel costs associated with the litigation. It also meant if they needed to appear for a legal proceeding they would need to travel to the courthouse or to a court reporter or mediator’s office.
