Synopsis
As we settle into the new norm of court during COVID 19, it can be hard to keep up with all the changes. This panel, consisting of The Honourable Judge Carmen Rogers, Administrative Judge for Vancouver Island, Elizabeth Thors, Sr. Manager, Court Administration Victoria Court House, Joel Gold, Crown Counsel, and Leslie Baskerville, Crown Counsel, will provide up-to-date information on how the Victoria court house has modified and adapted during the pandemic. Some topics that will be discussed are: file flow from charge to conclusion, how trials are running and options for witnesses to testify, how initial appearance court has been running, youth and intergrated court returning, virtual courtroom for bail and short dispositions, and how these chages will continue into the future.
