With a January 20 deadline for comments fast approaching, standing Committee on Technology members proposed some last-minute changes to The Florida Bar’s proposed “Recommended Best Practices Guide for Remote Court Proceedings.”

“Is there a need to offer a preferred platform within this guidance?” asked Vice Chair Joshua Marks.
