1st DCA heading back toward in-person arguments

From the 1st District's website: Pursuant to Misc. Order 2020-2, all in person oral argument sessions in the Court of Appeal, First District, are suspended. Counsel who choose to present oral argument must do so via video conference. Commencing April 4, 2022, the court will consider conducting in-person argument for specific cases. Notices of Oral Argument issued by the court will include an option for parties to jointly file a motion to conduct in-person argument in the courtroom. Such a motion would be granted or not at the court’s discretion.
