Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An adjudicatory hearing is a legal proceeding where evidence is presented and a decision or ruling is made. An administrative law judge, who is an impartial third party, presides over the hearing, listens to evidence presented by both parties and makes a decision based on the law and facts presented. Federal magistrates, administrative agency judges, and state supreme court justices may preside over other types of hearings but typically not adjudicatory hearings.
