View Quote I think they stopped allowing anyone to bring in phones. There was a rumor that some attorney recorded a court proceeding and put it on some social media site, but I'm not sure of that. The Feds are idiots about phones. "No phones with cameras!" Where can you get a phone without a camera? who can go all day without being able to call the office or check emails, particuarly if you aren't in trial but just doing hearings or meetings? |

I was actually shocked Virginia courts began to let attorneys bring in smartphones and tablets due to the replace of paper calenders with electronic ones. Virginia courts are usually quite proud of their motto: "400 years of history, unimpeded by progress." |

The jurisdiction where I practiced for the first 18 years of my career always had a no cameras policy; not that big of a deal in 1994, but once even the most basic flip phones started coming out with cameras it became a huge hassle. If you had a county bar card, which all the local folk did, you could bypass the metal detector and everything and bring whatever you wanted in. Out-of-town attorneys really, really didn't like the fact that they had to leave their phones in the car. Just about every day when I worked at the courthouse, you'd see people waiting in a long-ass line to get through security, only to realize at the last minute that they couldn't bring their phone in.

View Quote Phones (even phones with cameras) are currently allowed in Federal Courts in the Southern District of Florida and have been for at least several years if you fall under one of the exceptions such as an attorney admitted to the Southern District of Florida or a Juror. Here is a link to the most recent Administrative Order allowing phones. Phones and electronics have been allowed for attorneys since at least 2009. I haven't been to the Middle District of Florida for a while but last time I was there, phones were allowed in the building but then had to be stored in lockers down by security. When I go to court is is very common to use phones for texting, email and checking calendars. Many times when I'm up at the podium and another hearing is being set and the judge asks the court deputy to give a date, both attorneys check their calendars on their phones for conflicts. |

Quoted: I think Federal Court started allowing attorneys who have state bar cards to bring their phones, then supposedly some attorney in Albany (??) district court recorded some proceeding and they banned phones for awhile, this happened in the past few years. They may have given up on that. I don't know how you schedule court dates without a phone, even if you still keep a paper calendar like geezer like me do.

In every one I've been in, including the 4th Circuit, they take everyone else's phone, but if you have a hearing taking place and you're a lawyer, they let you keep it. Which was helpful when my opposing counsel failed to appear before the 4th Circ. and I said, your honors, I have her cell phone number, would it be okay to take a brief recess so I can try to call her? She owes me for that day..... I've also taken selfies in federal courtrooms before/after trials, just because I'm a rule breaker ...... |

I still hear stories today about older attorneys who absolutely refuse to enter their time in their billing software as they go, they insist on handwriting it onto printed timesheets to hand to their secretary to type in at 5pm on Friday because "that's my secretary's job." I saw it 15 years ago, but I hear it still continues. I always entered my time as I go, using software stopwatches so I accurately capture ALL of my time. Studies have shown that if attorneys enter their time using the " it's Friday, I gotta record my time, so how long did I spend on that motion last Monday...." method, then they tend to under-record their time -- and then they wonder how they spent 60 hours at the office and only billed 35. |
