Who is allowed to attend oral arguments if they take place? Is it just the participating attorneys? Or can other interested parties be present?

In my experience, local rules dictate whether a type of case is sequestered or not. Most civil cases are open unless requested by the litigants, I’d assume NJ is likely similar, but you’d have to check. In civil court, there are often people just hanging out in the pews waiting for their case to be called, or journalists waiting to hear the proceedings…

Courtrooms are open but you may or may not hear everything.

During covid they were not open.

So, Nancy Jaffer might be present?

No listening devices were found during sweep for them by MB.

Because pocket recorders don’t transmit anything for a sweep to pick up.

Didn’t Mr. D’s latest filing refer to recording devices being placed beneath benches?

I thought it odd that there were none found during the sweep that MB paid for, but I guess it may depend on what technology was being used.

I thought the testimony from several witnesses at the trial verified that there was no bench in the spot in the barn where LK/RG claimed the bug in her locker would have picked up any conversations.

And if LK/RG were listening to conversations around the barn, maybe they heard that the bug sweep guys were coming, and removed the bugs before they could be found. Perhaps when they were “wrapping the horse” late at night.

They did say there was no bench but then someone posted a picture here of a built-in bench in the locker area and asked if it was the bench. I found that confusing.

The bench in the pictures shown is around the corner from LK’s locker, which was pointed out in a previous picture, in the hallway to the the office and lounge.

Maybe a person could carry one of the fancy hear thru walls recording devices that one of the other posters here mentioned they have, and the one does not need to go into the courtroom to hear what is going on.

I went to an open house the other day that had a sign that cameras and audio were recording. I don’t know if it was for security or feedback. Either way, someone probably heard that I hated the plasticy faux marble sink/counter in the bathrooms and the carpet was ugly.

Exactly, that’s why you have to check local rules, and I’d also recommend contacting the court before you head down to see if there is any reason why you can’t attend. Even if the admin says, the parties could request the court hear things in closed session if they have grounds for their motion.

Recording is a whole nother issues on top of that.

Edited for hilarious typos!

If they weren’t granite or similar they deserve it.

Yes but remember these experts are very costly $$$$$

[eggbutt]

That is spending lots of $$ that might not be necessary if they receive all the discovery requested.

My own attorney just notified me that arbitration for my case was postponed from February to NOVEMBER 2023

The wheels of justice turn but they turn SLOWLY

LOL

Wow. That is crazy. Over a year from now? How is anyone supposed to remember the details of a case that long?

The case is a wrongful death of my dad in a rehab center. I started it in 2020. He died Jan 2020. I started the case later that year. I was deposed early last month. By law in that state we must first go to arbitration. My attorney and I have given the other side our settlement amount.

[eggbutt]

Damn!

[Knights_Mom]

I’ve talked about it before that even in my old court civil cases go on for YEARS. and adjournments of a year are commonplace.

When I left my job in April this year there were motions already filed with 2023 dates.

This is why depositions are important, and why there is so much formality about refreshing a witnesses recollection.

@Jealoushe and @eggbutt, Maybe one could volunteer or offer a big discount!
