A lawyer in southwest Texas, USA, conducted a burn court hearing with a cat filter on. A video containing a lawyer’s mistake is becoming a hot topic through SNS.
According to NBC and others on the 9th (local time), the case took place in a court hearing in a civil case in charge of Judge Roy Ferguson in the Texas District Court. Due to the Corona 19 situation, the court hearing was conducted through the video conference platform ZOOM. Lawyer Rod Fonton entered the videoconferencing room, but a filter was put on and the face of a fluffy baby cat appeared. The cat’s pupil shook greatly.
Judge Roy Ferguson, who saw this, calmly told Fonton that “the filter seems to be turned on in the video settings.” ‘Cat’ lawyer asked back, “Judge, can you hear me?” “I don’t know how to get rid of it. The secretary is trying next to you.” Then urgently, “I am ready to proceed. Here I am. I am not a cat.”
IMPORTANT ZOOM TIP: If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off. This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th (sound on). #lawtwitter#OhNo@zoom_ushttps://t.co/I0zaj0wu6K
Judge Ferguson shared a video on Twitter, saying, “These funny moments are the result of the dedication of the lawyers to the continuation of the judicial system during the Corona 19 era.” “Everyone involved was treated with dignity, and the filter-on lawyer showed incredible elegance. It is a true professional consciousness.”
He also gave important zoom tips. “If your kids have used your computer, make sure the filters are turned off in the zoom screen options before joining a video chat. This cat just made an official remark in court.”
Fonton told NBC News that his office was moving so he had no choice but to use a secretary computer. He also told the Associated Press, “I always wanted to be famous as a great lawyer, but I became famous as a cat in court.”
