Joining a Webinar by Phone or Other Connection
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a case participant (attorney, party, witness, or other person who will actively participate in the hearing), it is strongly recommended that you join Zoom using the Zoom application rather than by a telephone connection. If you must appear by telephone, the numbers posted for each judge are for the public and are listen-only, so you will need to contact the Courtroom Deputy (CRD) at least one business day before the hearing to request a Zoom invitation (which will be sent via email) in order to join the hearing as a case participant.

Courtesy/Chambers Copy Requirements
The submission of chambers copies is often required for electronically filed documents. Whereas the local rules state whether and how soon chambers copies must be submitted, judges’ individual standing orders sometimes create additional requirements and may differ from the local rules in other particulars. If they are not in agreement, these orders supersede the local rules.
View general information requirements for courtesy/chambers copies under the local rules.
The pertinent parts of Judge Hamilton’s standing orders are set forth below:
Civil
Chambers copies of each electronically-filed document must include on each page the running header created by the ECF system and must be delivered to the Clerk’s Office by noon the day following its filing. (Note: These deadlines differ from those in Civil L. R. 5-1(e)(7)(A).) All documents must be stapled or bound by a two-pronged fastener, and all exhibits to declarations or requests for judicial notice must be tabbed.
Criminal
In all e-filed cases, in addition to filing papers electronically, the parties are required to lodge a courtesy paper copy of each document in accordance with Civil L.R. 5-1(e).
