Remote Appearances

In an effort to promote safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, most hearings can be conducted using remote technology via CourtCall or Zoom for Civil Metropolitan Limited and Unlimited cases, as specified in the June 24, 2021 Standing Order re Remote Hearings for Civil Proceedings here. If a personal appearance is required under California Rules of Court, rule 3.670(e), but you desire to appear remotely, please file a written request at least five (5) court days prior to the hearing.

If you are appearing remotely via Zoom, please go to Remote Court Hearings for additional information and to connect, under the section Metro Division select the Department number. Please arrive to the remote hearing 30 minutes early.

For Civil Department 12, exhibits may be submitted by e-mail three (3) court days in advance of each hearing (including when continued). Exhibits must be marked (including the case number for hearing), may not exceed 15 pages and can be sent to: Department12exhibits@kern.courts.ca.gov
