Since the start of COVID, the court system has dramatically changed to a virtual and now hybrid system. Since March, Opus 2 has facilitated more than 500 virtual/hybrid hearings spanning more than 1,100 (sitting) days with 3,600+ participants in total. In the nearly 900 days of full virtual hearings conducted since the first lock down began, Opus 2 has logged almost a quarter million minutes of video conferencing time.

Texas Lawyer recently spoke with Opus 2’s Founder and CEO Graham Smith-Bernal about what courts and legal proceedings will realistically look like in 2021. They also discuss the lessons that law firms and corporations have learned/observed in that time.
