Virtual Courtrooms Prove To Be Both Curse And Blessing By
Steven Lerner | January 8, 2021, 12:44 PM EST For New York City criminal defense attorney Elena Fast, the inside of a courtroom before the pandemic was always a very magical place. A criminal case court is where justice prevails and that s where cases get resolved in a fair way, Fast, of The Blanch Law Firm, told Law360.
Fast even relished the daily rituals of dressing up, commuting and waiting in line to enter the courtroom.
But as in the rest of the country, most cases in the city s Criminal Court have been handled virtually since the end of March.
