HEARING TYPE CODES - VALID CASE TYPES

*** Indicates new or revised item.

The following table represents original and new hearing codes as recommended by the Judicial Needs Estimate (JNE) workgroup and new codes approved by the JIS Codes Committee. Hearings may be scheduled with a general hearing type code, such as MOT for Motion or PTR for Pretrial. When the hearing is held, the hearing type code should be changed to accurately reflect the hearing actually held - MOT may be changed to MTY or MTN, depending on whether the motion hearing consisted of live testimony. Similarly, a Pretrial may result in a Guilty Plea and Sentencing, so should be changed to GPS held.
