A clash over virtual court proceedings during the coronavirus pandemic intensified Wednesday as the state judiciary announced plans for resuming jury trials and opponents of the plan requested legislative hearings to air their objections.

Face-to-face jury trials will resume in September, starting with criminal trials in the Atlantic and Cape May counties vicinage, Bergen county and the Cumberland-Salem-Gloucester counties vicinage, and civil trials and trials in the state’s remaining counties to begin soon after, the judiciary said Wednesday.
