The New Jersey Judiciary now has one of the largest videoconferencing networks for court systems in the country. With 29 remote sites -- or endpoints -- located throughout the state, the state’s courts can use videoconferencing to facilitate numerous court activities such as testimony and arraignments. The new technology promises to increase the efficiency of court proceedings with less time and money spent on traveling and transportation.

The network, which is provided by Lucent Technologies’ new Enterprise Networks Group, is in place in every courthouse in the state, as well as in the Supreme Court, most Appellate Division chambers, and the New Jersey Law Center, headquarters of the state bar association. The hub of the network is located in the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in Trenton.

The Judiciary plans significant use of videoconferencing for:

• Appearances by attorneys for motions and appellate arguments
• Testimony by expert witnesses or translation services provided by those out of the county or the state
• Arraignment of prisoners without transporting them to the courts
• Judges’ or supervisors’ conferences ad hoc committee meetings
• Education and training programs
