Multnomah Supp. L. R. 3.183
"Remote means" means making a court appearance or conducting a trial, proceeding, hearing, or other gathering by telephone, video, other two-way electronic communication device, or simultaneous electronic transmission, using technology approved by the court. Any participant in a court proceeding, or the court on its own motion, may request to allow appearance by remote means. The judge conducting the proceeding or the Presiding Judge (or designee) will determine whether to allow appearance by remote means. Requests for appearance by remote means should be allowed where appearance by remote means is permitted by law and allowing appearance by remote means would not result in an unfair advantage or disadvantage to any participant in the proceeding. Any participant in a hearing, including but not limited to attorneys, parties, witnesses, or interpreters, appearing by remote means as described in 3.183 may not appear while operating a motor vehicle even if the participant is otherwise in compliance with Oregon law.
