disciplinary hearing
Formal conduct review
A disciplinary hearing is a formal proceeding where an authority—employer, school, professional board—examines alleged misconduct and determines consequences.
The accused typically has opportunity to respond to charges before a decision is reached: She was suspended pending a disciplinary hearing.
The term implies procedural formality, distinguishing it from informal reprimands.
