Guidance for Completing Form MC 506, “Notice of
Hearing with Remote Participation”
his document is intended to assist courts with scheduling court hearings with remote
participation. Before a remote court hearing, courts must “verify that all participants are
able to proceed in this manner.” See Administrative Order 2020-6. Courts should
communicate directions and expectations to remote participants. One way to do this is by
using MC 506, “Notice of Hearings with Remote Participation” .Below is an example of
content that a court can include in MC 506 to assist the litigant with attending the court
hearing remotely. For additional information, please refer to the Michigan Trial Courts
Virtual Courtroom Standards and Guidelines.
