Hearings generally follow a standard sequence of events:
The Hearing Examiner will explain any deviation from the standard sequence.
All speakers must use one of the microphones at the front of the room.
All speakers (except attorneys in certain circumstances) must be sworn in by the Hearing Examiner. When a speaker is prepared to give testimony, he/she will approach the podium, state and spell his/her full name. He/she may then begin testimony.
All testimony must be given orally or in written form, no shaking of heads or shrugs.
Speakers should try to avoid unnecessarily repetitive or irrelevant testimony. The Hearing Examiner has the authority to keep your testimony to the subject at hand.
Side comments and demonstrations (applause, booing, etc.) do not contribute to a fair hearing and are strictly prohibited. Courtesy to others is the order of the day.
Written or graphic materials are encouraged. Such items must be submitted to the Clerk before the hearing or to the Hearing Examiner while giving testimony. Materials submitted become permanent exhibits and cannot be returned.
