What must a party do to request telephonic testimony?

The key idea is that a telephonic testimony request must be made in time and with notice to the other side so they can respond. Courts require a timely filed request because it protects fairness—the other party must know what’s being requested and have an opportunity to object or arrange their own participation if needed. Typically this means filing the motion or notice within the court’s deadlines and providing a reasonable chance for the opposing party to respond, along with the necessary details (like proposed date and how the telephonic appearance would work). If the request is late or sent without giving the other side a chance to respond, it’s unlikely to be granted.
