31 I L T A N E T . O R G Moving Forward The debate of in person proceedings in court rages on. Some courts will land on a hybrid model with some virtual aspects and some in person. Some witnesses will be exempt due to health concerns or travel restrictions in place around the world. Some cases will settle or be moved to a bench trial, but we do know that as Justice Melton of Georgia's Judicial Council stated, "This broad prohibition cannot last too much longer, even if the pandemic continues, because the judicial system, and the criminal justice system in particular, must have some capacity to resolve cases by indictment and trial." Many law firms are struggling due to business hardships caused by the virus. Trials are a big source of income for litigation firms and the need for revenue along with the client's need for resolution will support matters moving forward. "Going to trial" will pioneer the way for a return to business travel, along with helping the businesses near which the trial takes place. The gradual return of economic activities is required to restore the financial health of our nation's businesses and workers. However; physical and mental health must be the focus as we return to travel during these unprecedented times. Each firm and each individual at the firm will evaluate their own situation and make decisions moving forward.
