certification hearing (A certification hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge decides whether a case should be transferred to a different court. It is also known as a transfer hearing.
For example, if a case involves a juvenile who committed a crime, the certification hearing will determine whether the case should be transferred from juvenile court to adult court.
Another example is if a case involves a defendant who committed a crime in one state but was arrested in another state, the certification hearing will determine whether the case should be transferred to the state where the crime was committed. алешаBG) |
