Superior Court of Los Angeles County Expands LACourtConnect Courtroom Preview Feature to Eleven Additional Court Locations Beginning Nov. 3
Courtroom Preview Feature to Launch at Eleven Courthouses in Courtrooms Currently Using LACC
Starting Nov. 3, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County will extend the LACourtConnect (LACC) Courtroom Preview feature, previously referred to as Courtroom Broadcasts, to eleven additional courthouses in courtrooms currently using LACC.
The Courtroom Preview feature enables checked-in litigants and attorneys with multiple hearings scheduled on the same day to monitor them from participating courtrooms in a centralized viewing pane without the need to enter the remote hearing. This feature will work in conjunction with LACC’s existing My Checked-in Hearings feature, which enables users to check in for multiple hearings at once and view all checked-in hearings in one location. Courtroom Preview will allow court users to monitor other hearings in a courtroom and join their own hearing when it is about to begin.
Courthouses with Courtroom Preview Starting Nov. 3
The following courthouses will have the Courtroom Preview feature in courtrooms with litigation types that currently utilize LACC:
- Bellflower Courthouse
- Burbank Courthouse
- Downey Courthouse
- East Los Angeles Courthouse
- El Monte Courthouse
- Glendale Courthouse
- Inglewood Courthouse
- Michael Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse
- Norwalk Courthouse
- San Fernando Courthouse
- Santa Clarita Courthouse
Accessing the Courtroom Preview Feature
Attorneys and litigants wishing to appear remotely in the nine additional courthouses may access the Courtroom Preview feature by visiting LACC’s home page and selecting “Traffic or All Other Case Types.” From there, users will be directed to the same-day check-in page, where they can search for their hearing by case number, courtroom calendar, first and last name, or by organization. Once checked in, users can access the Courtroom Preview feature from either the Check-In Confirmation Page or the My Checked-In Hearings page.
Please note that individual courtroom previews will be enabled at the discretion of the judicial officer. Additionally, photographing or recording these previews is prohibited under Local Rule 2.17 and California Rules of Court 1.150. LACC is intended solely for remote appearances by case participants, including litigants, attorneys, and witnesses. LACC is not available for public or media observation. All nonconfidential court proceedings remain open to in-person public attendance.
