We believe that virtual hearings should be available to ALL — including immigrants who fear for their safety, people with disabilities who may find it hard to get to hearings, and parents with transportation, child care, and work scheduling barriers.
“What occurred today…reinforces the Judiciary’s need to focus on ways to enhance access to virtual hearings and to educate the public as to how to request such hearings.”
