Summary
This legal document, filed on July 2, 2020, is a court finding that justifies providing public access to court proceedings via telephone conference. The court argues this measure is narrowly tailored to protect public health from COVID-19 and is less restrictive than in-person hearings, which have attendance limitations. This approach allows for broad public access, even for individuals who would otherwise be barred from the courthouse under a previous order (Standing Order 20-9).
