The COVID-19 pandemic has vastly changed the legal field and how lawyers handle their cases. For example, beginning in March 2020, court appearances began to be held virtually. New York attorneys in civil litigation were no longer permitted to go to court due to the risk in transmitting the virus.

Also, depositions performed by remote video became commonplace. This, too, was to prevent spread of COVID-19.

Due to the volatility of the virus, there is no set timeframe as to when the legal practice will be resuming its normal operations. The COVID-19 vaccine offers some hope that the legal practice will revert back to in person litigation in the near future.
