LANSING — State Court Administrator Thomas Boyd says the use of online platforms such as Zoom to conduct court proceedings is “the biggest boost to access to justice in our lifetimes,” and it will continue long after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
Boyd sent a statewide memo to judges and court administrators last week that said several judicial pandemic orders will likely become permanent as Michigan emerges from the crisis, including one that says all judges “are required to make a good-faith effort to conduct proceedings remotely whenever possible.”
