Officials in a Texas county have begun what is thought to be the first jury trial to be held completely by video conference as the coronavirus pandemic continues to force Americans to avoid gathering in public.

Reuters reported that jury selection began last Monday over video conference for a summary jury trial in the Collin County District Court, in which insurance giant State Farm is accused of not paying out a claim to cover property damage caused by a storm in 2017.

The trial was originally set to be held in March, but like many around the country was delayed due to the pandemic, which has effectively prohibited juries from gathering. One Texas Supreme Court justice told the news service that the pandemic has vexed legal experts around the country.

“You can’t drag people down to the courthouse and make them sit together for days at a time,” Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht said. “It’s just too dangerous.”

“It’s just imponderable,” he added. “There are hundreds of people over the country studying how do we get back to jury trials.”
