A quick definition of public hearing:

A public hearing is a meeting where people can go and listen to important discussions or decisions being made. It can be held in a courtroom, government building, or even online. Sometimes, witnesses are called to share their opinions or experiences. Public hearings can be about many different topics, like laws, zoning, or child custody. Everyone is welcome to attend and learn more about what's happening in their community.

A more thorough explanation:

A public hearing is a legal proceeding that is open to the public and held to decide issues of fact or law. It can be held in a court, administrative agency, or legislative body. During a public hearing, witnesses may testify and evidence may be presented to help make a decision.

  • A court held a public hearing to decide whether DNA evidence could be used in a murder case.
  • An administrative agency held a public hearing to hear arguments about zoning variations.
  • A legislative body held a public hearing to receive testimony about proposed gun control legislation.

These examples illustrate how a public hearing can be held in different settings and for different purposes. In each case, the hearing was open to the public and allowed for the presentation of evidence and arguments to help make a decision.
