How to Watch Court Hearings - Public Viewing
Zoom hearings are streamed via Youtube. The public can watch the hearings by visiting our Live Stream Court Hearings page here.
Recording is Forbidden
The public can watch the court proceeding, but cannot record it using any audio or video devices. Anyone who records the proceedings, other than the official court reporter, may be held in contempt of court. After the livestream concludes, the Youtube video will be permanently deleted and cannot be accessed. The official record will be the court's own audio recording in the courtroom, which is required.
