You listen attentively, ready to refute anything said against you.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing continues for several hours, with lively exchanges between the parties and the judge. At the end, the judge makes a decision and pronounces his verdict. You may be relieved, satisfied or disappointed, depending on the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what a hearing is all about.
