Online hearings in Russian courts have been going on for two years now. They were launched because of the pandemic and medical restrictions, and then kept because it is convenient. Such a format saves time and money for business trips to other regions. The most daring lawyers connect to video conferences from cafes or their cars. On the other hand, there are often technical problems: the connection can be interrupted during the lawyer's speech. In addition, all the nuances of the online legal process are still not legally regulated, e.g. it is not very clear how to attach and examine evidence.
