General Information
Some hearings are held with one or more parties not physically present in the courtroom. If the remote hearing is eligible for public viewing, it may be live-streamed through Webex Events (the software Oregon’s state courts use for this purpose). When available, live streaming allows the public to join and view and/or listen to these hearings from a computer, mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet), or phone (subject to some limitations). Many remote hearings may also be available to view at a court facility. Contact the court with any questions on how to access a remote hearing.
If you are a defendant or party to a case, the
Litigant Guide provides more information. There are also guides for the
general public,
witnesses, and
attorneys
Receiving Notice of a Remote Hearing
