A quick definition of adjudicatory hearing:

An adjudicatory hearing is a type of court session where a judge decides on issues of fact or law. It can be open to the public and may involve witnesses testifying. There are different types of adjudicatory hearings, including those in administrative law, legislative practice, equity practice, and English law. In child-abuse and neglect proceedings, the adjudicatory hearing is the trial stage where the court hears evidence and decides whether the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child. In a juvenile-delinquency case, it is a hearing where the court hears evidence of the charges and makes a finding of whether the charges are true or not true.

A more thorough explanation:

An adjudicatory hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge or decision-maker decides on issues of fact or law. It can be open to the public and may involve witnesses testifying. Here are some examples:

  • In a criminal case, a hearing to determine whether the accused should be released before trial.
  • In a child abuse or neglect case, a hearing to decide whether the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child.
  • In a juvenile delinquency case, a hearing to determine whether the charges against the juvenile are true or not true.
  • In an administrative law setting, a hearing where an affected person presents arguments to an agency decision-maker.

Overall, an adjudicatory hearing is a formal process where evidence is presented and a decision is made based on the facts and the law.
