No More Logging In and Out Just to Help a Judge - Video Demo

Since 2020, virtual court hearings have become a permanent fixture in the justice system. But while the technology has stuck around, the workflows haven’t always kept up.

Court clerks and administrators still juggle links, switch logins, wrangle session passwords, and field phone calls from confused participants — all while trying to support multiple courtrooms running in parallel. If that sounds exhausting, that’s because it is. In high-volume courts, it’s not just inconvenient — it’s unsustainable.

That’s why Liberty Virtual Courtroom 8.9 introduces a breakthrough feature:

Built specifically for remote hearings, hybrid courts, and high-volume dockets, this feature streamlines court operations like no meeting-based tool ever has before.

The Problem with “One Session at a Time”

If your court uses Zoom, Teams, or Webex, you’re limited to managing one meeting per login. Need to assist in a second courtroom? You have to:

• Leave your current session

• Dig up a new link or calendar invite

• Enter a different password or meeting ID

• Hope you get there in time to assist

That might work for a business webinar. But in a busy court system — where multiple hearings, judges, and interpreters overlap throughout the day — this model breaks down quickly.

Why Meeting-Based Platforms Fall Short

Let’s be clear: Zoom, Teams, and Webex weren’t built for courtroom operations. And it shows.

🔁 One session at a time
Admins are tied to a single courtroom with no way to manage others simultaneously.

🚪 Session switching required
Every switch between rooms means logging out, rejoining, or using a different link or session ID.

🔒 No persistent access
Meeting links, session IDs, and passwords must be tracked separately — increasing room for error.

🔄 No co-management across sessions
True collaboration between admins is nearly impossible beyond one virtual room.

In a municipal court handling hundreds of cases a day, these limitations create delays, confusion, and technical headaches — for staff, for judges, and for the public.

How Multi-Conference Management Works

Liberty’s Multi-Conference Management changes everything. Instead of bouncing between links and logins, court staff now have full visibility and control over every active courtroom — from a single interface.

With this feature, managers can:

✅ Join any named courtroom instantly
No link-hunting, no re-authentication, no delay.

✅ Collaborate with other staff in real time
Multiple admins can co-host the same courtroom or different ones — without overlap or interference.

✅ Support participants across rooms
See who’s in the wrong place and move them to the right one. Seamlessly.

✅ Respond to dynamic needs
Switch between courtrooms on the fly, assist different judges, and manage real-time requests — without ever logging out.

It’s like air traffic control for virtual hearings — a live dashboard of all your courtrooms, with the power to co-pilot any of them at a moment’s notice.

Key Features of Multi-Conference Management

🔓 Seamless Courtroom Switching
Move between named rooms (e.g., Courtroom 1A, 1B, 2A) without ending your session or losing access.

👥 Real-Time Co-Management
Admins can manage participants, private rooms, and hearings together — even in the same courtroom.

🔄 Integrated Private Room Control
Each manager can control up to 12 private rooms (breakouts, interpreter rooms, sidebars) and name them individually. Occupied rooms appear to all managers in real time.

🧭 Smarter Participant Filtering
Replace the cluttered gallery view with focused courtroom panes. Filter by room, role, or session to see exactly who you need to.

From the Clerk’s Chair: A Real-World Example

Imagine you’re a clerk working in a fast-paced municipal court. Today’s docket spans three judges and dozens of hearings — all virtual. In a Zoom-based system, you’d have to:

• Choose one courtroom to join

• Leave to help another judge

• Track down the correct meeting link or password

• Rinse and repeat — all day long

With Liberty Virtual Courtroom:

• You log in once

• Open the Change Courtroom window

• See all active courtrooms on the server

• Jump into Courtroom 1B, where a colleague is already managing

• Move a participant to a private room for interpretation

• Switch to Courtroom 2A to assist a judge with gallery management

• Return to your room and prep for the next hearing

All from one login. All without friction.

That’s the power of purpose-built court technology.
