Has anyone ever been through a lawsuit trial by phone?

Question

I have a trial in an hour and was just curious if anyone has experienced this so they can give me some input to calm my nerves. thanks!

Answer 1

Are you suing or being sued?.  In any case, I  would have  a lawyer at my side.

Answer 2

You can appear telephonically for "hearings", however you must be personally present for trial.  You can't be sworn and testify over the phone.

Answer 3

I was a paralegal at an attorney's office and we did hearings by phone all the time. Just make sure there are no other noises around you. The judges will not tolerate it. Just relax and do your best!
