For Judges
The CourtCall Telephonic Appearance Program is an organized and voluntary way for lawyers to telephonically make routine civil, criminal, probate, bankruptcy and other appearances from their offices, homes or other convenient locations. Unlike common practices, neither Court staff nor lawyers are required to coordinate the time or logistics of the call. Instead, by simply paying a reasonable fixed fee and filing with CourtCall the Request for CourtCall Appearance form in advance, a lawyer may make a CourtCall Appearance. While streamlining procedures for the Court, CourtCall Appearances also enable lawyers to avoid travel, traffic and weather conditions creating substantial litigation cost savings for clients. A brief service demonstration is effortlessly scheduled at the convenience of the Court. CourtCall Appearances have saved attorneys hundreds of thousands of hours while saving clients hundreds of millions of dollars in both small and large legal communities around the country.
CourtCall can also provide revenue for the Court, which has no cost or risk at anytime and is under no long term obligation. CourtCall provides all program administration, installation of a state-of-the-art full-duplex speakerphone, supplies, promotion and lawyer education. The Court merely conducts its regular business, while sharing in revenue from each paid CourtCall Appearance. Courts have been very creative in the use of the revenue generated from CourtCall Appearances. Should a Court decline to share in the revenue, the fee to the participating attorneys is accordingly reduced.
CourtCall offers two service platforms: the "Open Court" platform which simulates the actual courtroom experience where all who are present hear the proceedings; and a "Privacy" platform for Judges who wish to conduct their CourtCall proceedings privately, in chambers. On the Privacy platform a TeleConference Specialist remains on the call for its duration and serves as a "virtual" clerk for the Judge, bringing into the call only those with whom the Judge wishes to speak. Using either or both platforms, CourtCall tailors the program for each Judge and not all Judges in a Court are required to join the service.
Conceived and implemented by practicing attorneys, CourtCall created the proprietary "turn-key" telephonic court appearance program to develop a user friendly system that is based upon what actually happens in the courtroom. We believe that you will be excited to learn how CourtCall is being used and how it can benefit your legal community. Every day you delay, needless expenses are being incurred!
