Summary
Summary
Judicial Council staff recommend amending rules 3.722, 3.1207, and 3.2226 of the California Rules of Court, effective January 21, 2022, to provide for appearances “remotely” rather than just “by telephone” and to change references to rule 3.670 to new rule 3.672. The amendments would make the rules consistent with recently adopted rule 3.672 and avoid confusion among court users, court staff, and judicial officers about which rule applies to civil remote appearances.
