hearing date

Scheduled legal proceeding

A hearing date is a scheduled court appearance when a case or motion will be heard before a judge.

Unlike a trial date, a hearing date typically involves arguments on specific legal issues rather than presentation of evidence to determine guilt or liability: The judge set a hearing date for next month.

In immigration and administrative contexts, it marks when someone's case will be reviewed by an official tribunal.
