Just finished a 7 day trial at Livingston High Court - three paediatricians - a paediatric neurosurgeon - and a consultant neuro radiologist - all taken by WebEx. A couple of minor technical hitches but overall a great success. Well done Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) & COPFS 👏👏👏

Good luck to my friends at Hey Legal and @Moore_Legal in Scottish Legal Awards 👏👏👏
