Case Hearings
In Odyssey, hearings are calendared events. They include proceedings in which arguments, witnesses, or evidence is heard by
a judicial officer or administrative body including court events, such as trials and motion hearings. Hearings also include
conferences aimed at pre-trial settlement or quasi-judicial events involving alternate dispute resolution (ADR).
A hearing consists of one or more settings. A setting is a specific date and time for a hearing that is added to the hearing
when you schedule it. Each setting is scheduled within a court session on a calendar.
When adding a case, the Hearings tab is not immediately available; however, once a case is added, you can enter hearing information through an event, from
the Hearings tab, or from a court session on a calendar. Multiple hearings can be set up for a case from the Hearings tab. After a hearing is set, you can reschedule the hearing if needed and add hearing results once it is over.
Hearings can be added to a single case through the Hearings tab, through court sessions, or in a batch through the Court Administration option on the navigation menu.
When viewing a case, you can access court sessions from the Hearings tab or from the Modify Hearings dialog box.
Note: When parties are associated with a hearing, the extended connection type is displayed in addition to the party name
in the hearings table. The cancelation reason description is also displayed, when applicable, in the hearings table.
