I expect you are right to say that remote testimony is here to stay in a big way. But I hope we will retain the drama of live, in person testimony at trial. The legal process doesn’t just crank out results mechanically. It also provides the appropriately dramatic setting that has been a part of public dispute resolution for thousands of years, since Socrates questioned Meletus before the jury. (Although that example just goes to show that the jury doesn’t always get it right!)
