Before the COVID-19 pandemic, courts often scheduled multiple cases for the same time, forcing lawyers to wait around, which wasted client resources and time.
During the pandemic, courts improved efficiency by scheduling hearings in discrete time increments, eliminating wait times as lawyers logged into Zoom without physical presence.
The shift to virtual court hearings meant that attorneys could multitask while waiting for their cases to be called, demonstrating a better use of their time.
The pandemic highlighted the inefficiencies in traditional court scheduling, suggesting an opportunity for courts to reform their processes even post-COVID-19.
