• Step 10 - The Continued Hearing may now be edited.

   
  Both hearings are now open for editing.  The hearing on top is the new continued hearing, while the hearing behind is the old hearing that has been continued.  The hearing date (underlined here in red) is the best way to distinguish between continued hearings.
   
  You may now enter summons or subpoena information for the new hearing. If this is a Full Evidentiary Hearing, check the box labeled "Adjudication (FEH)" (outlined here in red).
