The Superior Court of Los Angeles County has announced that, beginning next month, those required to appear for traffic and non-traffic infractions will be allowed to appear remotely.

Beginning Sept. 14, people will be allowed to appear for tickets for arraignment or other matters, except trials, via a telephone or voice-calling app on their computer.

The appointment must be at least two hours before the hearing’s start time, and officials have warned that the registration time does take a while, and defendants should not wait until the final moment.

If you schedule a remote audio appearance and then want to cancel, you must do so before 8 a.m. the day of the hearing or you will be charged the $15 audio appearance fee. There are no refunds – you should cancel if you change your mind.

Appointment scheduling begins Sept. 4, and you may make an appointment if your appearance is within the next 30 days.
