On Friday, April 17, perhaps the first Trial by Zoom was held in Georgia. It was the final exam for the Emory Law School Jury Trial class. The fact pattern for the students was a divorce.

Typically the final exam is held in a real courtroom with real judges, but this time Fulton County Superior Court judges presided over virtual courtrooms, via Zoom. Chief Judge Chris Brasher and Judges Rebecca Crumrine Rieder, Jane Barwick and Paige Reese Whitaker, participated along with Emory Law adjunct professors Rob Wellon, Jim Holmes, Senior Judge Gail Tusan and me (professor Amy Kaye had a conflict). The law school offered invaluable technical support.
