Hearing A hearing is an informal trial at the Labor Commission. A Judge will be present to hear the evidence. We want the Judge to know you respect the court, so wear appropriate clothing. For the same reason it is vital that you allow the other side to present their evidence. It is rude and disrespectful to the court to roll your eyes, gasp or shout “that is a lie” when the other side says things you believe are wrong. Your attorney will present the evidence on your side so that the Judge will make the correct decision in the end. At the beginning of the hearing the Judge will address any preliminary issues with the attorneys. This will include admission of the Medical Exhibit and other formalities. The attorneys will then present opening arguments to outline the issues and disputes for the Judge. Then testimony is presented.
