What is a non-evidentiary hearing?

A non-evidentiary hearing is a legal proceeding where the parties involved present arguments, legal theories, or interpretations of the law without introducing physical evidence or witness testimony. These hearings typically focus on procedural matters, motions, or legal issues that can be resolved based on existing records or briefs submitted by the parties. The judge or hearing officer makes decisions based on the legal arguments presented rather than evaluating factual evidence.
