(a) At Adjudication Hearings. All witnesses must personally appear for adjudication hearings unless the court, after considering the juvenile's constitutional right of confrontation, orders otherwise. (b) At Other Proceedings. For proceedings other than adjudications, a party may request the court to permit witness testimony or an attorney's appearance by virtual means. Unless the court orders otherwise, the request must be in writing.
