Definition of evidentiary hearing

An evidentiary hearing is a legal proceeding where evidence is presented to a judge or decision-maker to help them make a decision. This type of hearing is different from a hearing where only legal arguments are presented.

Examples of evidentiary hearings include:

  • A hearing in a criminal case to determine if evidence was obtained legally
  • A hearing in a child abuse or neglect case to determine if a child should be removed from their home
  • A hearing in an administrative law case where a person presents arguments to an agency decision-maker

These examples illustrate how an evidentiary hearing is used to present evidence and help a decision-maker make an informed decision.

The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.
