Overview of Recent Responses to COVID-19

by the Judicial Conference of the United

States, Administrative Office of the U.S.

Courts, and Select Courts Within the Federal

Judiciary



March 30, 2020
This CRS Insight provides information related to recent responses to Coronavirus disease 2019, or
COVID-19, by the Judicial Conference of the United States, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts
(AO), and select courts within the federal judiciary. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive
overview of the policies and practices adopted by each federal court or judicial entity. Additionally, given
the rapidly changing situation surrounding COVID- 19, the information provided in this Insight may be
superseded by new information from that which is described in the text below. If there are any questions
regarding whether such changes have occurred, congressional staff may contact the author of this Insight.
The author can also be contacted for information related to responses to COVID- 19 by other federal
judicial entities or courts not specifically addressed below.
A previous CRS Insight that provided information related to the initial responses to COVID- 19 by AO
and select courts within the federal judiciary can be accessed here.

Judicial Conference of the United States
The Judicial Conference of the United States, the administrative policymaking body for the federal courts,
held its regularly scheduled biannual meeting on March 17, 2020. The meeting convened by
teleconference, with Conference members calling in from all 13 judicial circuits to consider several policy
matters (including the authorization of a two-year pilot program to evaluate live audio streaming for some
civil case proceedings). Traditionally, the Conference holds its meetings at the U.S. Supreme Court.
