Online proceedings allow anyone to easily observe hearings in their own communities and connect with their local court observation groups. This increases both accountability and transparency in local communities across the U.S. In order to increase participation, the Stanford Legal Design Lab created this public repository of links to online remote proceedings and court observation groups.
