I have a disability. Can I request a remote hearing or an accommodation for my in-person hearing?
To request a ZOOM or telephonic hearing or other accommodation based on a disability you will need to send an email to BOTH Maria.pugliese@courts.phila.gov and mccivilada@courts.phila.gov . The e-mail should contain the following information:
- Case Number (LT-…)
- Tenant Name
- Hearing date/time/courtroom
- Requested Accommodations (ex: hearing by telephone, medical accommodations at court…)
In your email, you will also need to attach completed copies of the Reasonable Accommodations Form, Certificate of Compliance Form and a Confidential Document Form in your email to Maria.pugliese@courts.phila.gov and mccivilada@courts.phila.gov.
Can I request a remote hearing for a reason other than a disability?
To request a ZOOM or telephonic hearing for a reason other than a disability, an email should be sent to mcclaims@courts.phila.gov with the following information:
- Case Number (LT…)
- Tenant Name
- Hearing date/time/courtroom
- Reason why a zoom/telephonic hearing is being requested
- A completed Certificate of Compliance Form attached to the email.
Once the court receives the request, it will be sent to the supervising judge for review.
