The 2026 Virtual Evolution in Rhode Island

Rhode Island is at the forefront of judicial accessibility in 2026 with the introduction of S 2966, which establishes a statutory “Right to Remote Participation.” This allows pro se litigants to appear via video or telephone for most hearings, conferences, and motions. Additionally, the term “Drug Court” has officially transitioned to “Recovery Court” in all 2026 filings. Pro se litigants must still master the Judiciary’s Electronic Filing System (EFS), which is mandatory for all non-incarcerated parties.
