This court procedure is the first step in a criminal case. A preliminary hearing is the right of the person charged with the crime. It is their chance to hear the evidence that the state has against them. A judge also decides if there is enough probable cause to charge defendant with the crime they are accused of committing.

Every person who is charged by warrant is entitled to a preliminary hearing. If a person remains in jail, he or she is entitled to a preliminary hearing usually within 10 days of arrest. If a person is released from jail on bond, he or she is entitled to a preliminary hearing usually within 15 days of arrest. A preliminary hearing is an examination of the charge against the accused.

In cases were a child is alleged to be Delinquent, Unruly, Dependent, Neglected or Abused, the Court schedules these matters for initial hearing within ten days following the filing of a complaint. If a child is alleged to be Dependent, Neglected or Abused, a preliminary conference is scheduled before a Magistrate.

If the judge determines at the preliminary hearing that there are sufficient facts to believe that you committed the crime, you will be bound over to Superior Court (note that many counties have consolidated their municipal courts into one superior court). Once in Superior Court, you will be arraigned on the Information (felony complaint), which will be filed by the District Attorney's office.

DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE is the same as DIVORCE. This is a legal process where a marriage is dissolved or terminated. A final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage terminates the marriage, determines rights to property and obligations for debts between the parties, resolves issues of child custody, visitation, support and spousal support. Once the marriage is dissolved, the parties may remarry. Divorce in California is 'no-fault' and does not require the consent of the other party.

Yes. One short hearing. It is an informal 3 or 4 minute hearing with a Bankruptcy Trustee, whos is an attorney who helps the court administrate cases. The questions are easy, and I am right by your side. I know all the Trustees and they are all polite gentlemen. The only other parties in attendance will be other debtors and their attorneys.

Expect is a tool primarily for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect really makes this stuff trivial. Expect is also useful for testing these same applications. Expect is described in many books, articles, papers, and FAQs. There is an entire book on it available from O'Reilly.

A closed hearing is a hearing that the public and the media are not allowed to sit in on. A House committee may close a hearing only if it determines that disclosure of the testimony to be taken would endanger national security, violate any law, or tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person. Both houses require roll-call votes in open session to close a hearing.

A public hearing provides an opportunity for applicants to present proposals to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and to explain why they believe their proposed work is appropriate. The hearing is also an opportunity for public testimony and discussion about the application. The panel of eleven LPC Commissioners discusses the application immediately after the hearing, and either makes a decision at that time or at a later public meeting.
