Common Pleas - Civil Remote Hearing Information

The Trial Division - Civil of the Court of Common Pleas uses Zoom as advanced communication technology for conducting very limited types of court proceedings. All counsel and self-represented litigants who receive a scheduling order or similar notice to appear for a court event, via Zoom, should consult the information contained in the links below.
