Legal system uses zoom?
It started with covid. I guess some courts still offer it
A lot of attorneys pushed for it to continue because it cuts down on travel particularly to rural areas. It’s helpful in civil litigation because it cuts down on travel fees to clients.
It’s helpful in criminal and family law cases because those dockets often run long and people may have to wait hours to be seen. Being able to work or run errands while waiting for your case to be called makes the process less intrusive.
You can’t help people like the defendant in the video though.
Are you questioning video conference for court, or the fact it is Zoom and not a better encryption setup like Cisco Cisco Webex?
The second.
Yeah, I would have assumed a higher end system too, even a proprietary "for court" desktop application and phone client.
I heard they found a vulnerability in one such proprietary software recently.. So I guess proprietary doesn't mean secure either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, Software be software LOL. I guess I meant zoom wasn't true end to end encryption, zoom had the keys. where as other programa were e2e
