What the hearing is
Court notices name the kind of hearing. Find the closest match.
- Citation or arrestA case usually starts either with a citation telling someone to appear in court, or with an arrest.
- First appearance and bondA judge tells the person what they are accused of, addresses their right to a lawyer, and decides conditions of release.
- ArraignmentThe formal court appearance on the charge, where the person enters a plea.
- Plea and discoveryThe defense reviews the evidence, and the two sides discuss whether the case can be resolved without a trial.
- TrialIf the case does not resolve, a judge hears the evidence and decides whether the State has proved the charge.
- SentencingIf there is a guilty plea or a finding of guilt, the judge imposes a sentence allowed by law for that offense.
- AppealA district court judgment may be appealed to circuit court, subject to the applicable procedure and deadline.
