What Actually Happens at a Hearing
Most hearings are not dramatic.
Typically:
  • the judge has limited reading time
  • key points are clarified
  • directions are given
  • the case moves forward incrementally
Hearings are about management, not performance.
What helps you:
  • knowing the purpose of that hearing
  • understanding what the judge needs to decide
  • staying calm and focused
What hurts you:
  • interrupting
  • over-speaking
  • re-arguing history
Being calm is not weakness. It signals reliability.
This category will help you understand:
  • what hearings are for
  • what to expect on the day
  • how to conduct yourself strategically
