Description
The Hearing Preparation Checklist is a checklist from Lawtopolis. A practical checklist covering confirming the hearing details, reading any tentative ruling, organizing copies, arranging an interpreter or accommodation, preparing for remote appearance, courtroom conduct and calendaring what the court orders.
What is in the hearing preparation checklist
Your download includes these files:
- Hearing Preparation Checklist (DOCX)
- Hearing Preparation Checklist (PDF)
Each file is editable, so you can type your own information straight into it. In addition, every template is general and is not tied to any one court.
How to use the hearing preparation checklist
Work through it in the days before your hearing. It covers logistics and preparation only; it does not tell you what to argue.
First, read your court’s rules so you know what the finished document must contain. Next, fill in your own information. Then compare the result with the rules one more time before you file or serve anything.
Check your court’s rules first
Courts set their own formatting and filing rules. For example, they may set margins, font size, line spacing and page limits. Also, many courts publish their own mandatory forms, and you must use those where they exist. Federal rules are available from the federal judiciary. For state courts, start with our state procedures guide.
