when you have to go to court for a "rule 8 " hearing, what will be taking place?
481266
This is going to depend entirely on where you are, what court you're going to, and what sort of dispute is to be heard.  The rule it refers to is probably a rule of civil or criminal procedure.  (Civil is for lawsuits, generally speaking.)  You should check with local references to find out which, or you can try asking the clerk of court for an explanation.  For the rules themselves, you may be able to find them online at findlaw.com, if you can't find them anywhere else.\n\nFrom the way you phrase it, I would guess that, in a criminal proceeding, a Rule 8 hearing may involve the prosecution needing to show cause for charges it is bringing against someone (demonstrating it has at least some evidence to support its case) and -- if there is some evidence -- formally telling the accused the charges they face (like an arraignment).  That is totally a guess, though.

Within some criminal justice systems, a preliminary hearing (evidentiary hearing) is a proceeding, after a criminal complaint has been filed by the prosecutor, to determine whether, and to what extent, criminal charges and civil cause of actions will be heard (by a court), what evidence will be admitted, and what else must be done (before a case can proceed). At such a hearing, the defendant may be assisted by counsel, indeed in many jurisdictions there is a right to counsel at the preliminary hearing. Contrast this with the jurisdictions such as the United States, where a person may be charged, instead, by seeking a "true bill of indictment" before a grand jury; where counsel is not normally permitted. The conduct of the preliminary hearing as well as the specific rules regarding the admissibility of evidence vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Should the court decide that there is probable cause, a formal charging instrument (called the Information) will issue; and the prosecution will continue. If the court should find that there is no probable cause, then typically the prosecution will cease. However, many jurisdictions allow the prosecution to seek a new preliminary hearing, or even seek a bill of indictment from a grand jury.\n\nSome important questions, generally addressed in such a hearing, are:\n\n1) Did the alleged crime occur within the court's jurisdiction? \n2) Is there probable cause, to believe that the defendant committed the crime?

Dear Friend,\n\nJudges generally have discretion to recuse themselves from hearing any case in which they have a personal interest.  For example, if a family member, or the judge's church, or the company she worked with for decades came before her, the judge can and should ask another judge to take the case.  Certainly if the judge herself is a litigant, she cannot hear her own case.\n\nGenerally speaking, trial courts do have to hear whatever are filed in front of them.  Which particular judge hears which case is for the judges to decide.  Mostly this is done through random assignment to keep things fair.  However, for example, senior federal trial judges have the ability to say they don't want to take a particular sort of case... for example, criminal cases.  And if a judge has too crowded a docket, she can work with the clerk to have certain cases reassigned.  \n\nIntermediate appeallate courts usually hear everything as well, although they can decide for themselves whether to do so in panels of just a few judges -- or en banc, which means a hearing before all the judges of a certain area.  \n\nIt's not quite true that state supreme courts and the USSC have absolute discretion which cases to hear.  For example, death penalty cases are often appealed as of right to state supreme courts.  And the USSC is the only place that certain disputes, like those between sovereign States, can be heard.  But generally speaking those judges do have a LOT more say over which cases they hear.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nYour Friend, \nFrancesois

The complaintant would go to the local police and fill out the paperwork for the injunction aka restraining order. The injunction is issued immedialty and served on the respondant. Depending on the law in the jurisdiction a hearing is scheduled (usually 3-15 days) whereby a judge will review the request and possibly hear testimoney from the complaintant and respondant and determine if there is probable cause to allow the injunction to continue and what conditions will be imposed (ie 500 feet apart, etc.). If the judge does not feel the injunction is justified under the circumstances then the temporary injunction will be quashed and nothing further will be done.

you have to go to court i think

It means that you may file a new suit on the same cause of action.\n\nYou may file a motion to reconsider the ruling.  This usually requires that you have new information that you did not at the time of your last hearing.\n\nYou may appeal the ruling to a higher court.  In an appeal you need to show that the judge had faulty legal reasoning.   They do not re-evaluate findings of facts on appeal.  You will need an attorney to do an appeal properly.

There are two parts to your question.\n\nFirst, if you want what was actually said at the hearing, this is called a transcript.  It is a public record.  You can contact the clerk of the court and ask for a copy of the transcript.  There will be a charge for this.\n\nSecond, if you want a copy of the court order, that is usually a single page, perhaps two.  You can do the same, ask the clerk of the court for a copy of the court order.

Not necessarily.  It depends on what type of hearing you will be going to.  If it's a preliminary hearing, you will just plea and get a new court date; however, if it is your sentencing date, probably.  \n\nAre you going to trial, or taking a plea bargain?  Do you know if you will be imprisoned, or do you just think it might be a condition of your sentencing.  \n\nWith a little more information a more complete answer could be given.  Let me know some of the details; maybe I can allay your fears.  \n\nGood luck.

What is the jurisdiction for this scenario?

A judge can do anything calendar wise with proper notice and the following of the Rules of Court.  This all depends on your jurisdiction. I'd suggest you attempt to reschedule through the court's Clerk. If a judgment was entered despite the cancellation of a mediation or hearing, it MAY be the basis for an appeal, but once again it depends on the jurisdiction.

You have the right to be represented by an attorney at every aspect of your criminal case - including the initial hearing.  Most courts require your appearance for an initial hearing so that you can be advised of the criminal charges and penalties.  You may not be required to attend future hearings but make sure you receive legal advise on that matter before you fail to appear.

Hmm, my guess is see if there were any newspaper reports as to when the court hearing will be or to just contact a local court house and ask them how to gain this information.\n\nGood luck!
