Law.com featured 'Holding Court' With Orange County California Judge Kimberly Knill: 'We've had to create backups to backups to backups.' The article explains that Knill "appointed to the trial bench in 2018, served a stint as an associate at McDermott, Will & Emery prior to practicing as a sole practitioner focusing on appellate law for two decades. Before taking the bench, she also served as a research attorney at the Orange County Superior Court from 2014 to 2016 and as a senior research attorney at California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Division Three, an intermediate appellate court."
At present, the Orange County Superior Court courthouses are still closed to the public for civil matters. However, I am handling a full calendar and am on the bench at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana five days a week, with my clerk and court reporter in the courtroom with me. My calendar is called remotely. Parties, witnesses, and attorneys appear through a Microsoft Teams meeting link located on our court’s website. Most are able to appear by video. To ensure the public has access to court proceedings, my courtroom proceedings are live-streamed on YouTube. This process will continue indefinitely until we are able to safely re-open the courthouse to the general public.
