Kitsap County District Court is utilizing the Zoom platform for remote participation in court hearings. While the Kitsap County Courthouse is open to the public, parties should appear remotely, unless required to personally appear. For most matters, appearing by video is highly encouraged.  

The recording and/or posting of court proceedings is strictly prohibited. This includes court proceedings available to the public through livestreaming.

    
A tutorial and instructions for Zoom are found HERE. Zoom also has a number of help articles and video tutorials available HERE. Please be sure to test your connection and audio well in advance of your hearing. You can join a test meeting at: https://zoom.us/test. First time users may be prompted to download the Zoom software and are required to have a Zoom account for court, and should plan accordingly, this process may take 30 minutes or more.

All participants are reminded you are appearing in a virtual courtroom. Your demeanor and your surroundings should reflect the serious nature of court proceedings.  There is no lessening of appearance standards, especially for Officers of the Court (attorneys, interpreters, etc.). You must have a good connection and remain stationary and attentive during court proceedings.    
  • All proceedings are recorded.​
  • All audio is muted upon entry.  If on the phone, use *6 to mute/unmute your audio.
  • Turn audio and video on while the Judge calls the calendar.     
  • Parties should mute/turn video off when their matter is not being heard.
  • If you are late joining and miss the Judge's calling of the calendar, please remain quiet until the case is called or until the Judge polls the courtroom again.
  • You will be placed in a Zoom "waiting room" until admitted into the proceedings by the Judge or Court Staff.  Remain in the waiting room.  We are aware of your presence and will admit shortly.    
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MATTER ON THE CALENDAR AND ARE JOINING AS AN OBSERVER VIA ZOOM:
  • Please identify yourself as an observer when logging in (i.e. OBSERVER).
  • All audio and video are to be turned off for the duration of the hearing/calendar.
  • Inappropriate or disruptive behavior by any Court observer will result in the observer’s immediate removal from the Zoom hearing room.  The observer may be prohibited from observing any further Zoom hearings/calendars.


For those calling in by phone, simply dial any one of the following Zoom access numbers and enter the appropriate Meeting ID.  Remember, video participants will see the number you are calling from unless you first dial *67 when calling Zoom.
