TPR Trial; What to expect

Unfortunately, Judicial Reviews have to happen on a certain schedule, so it doesn't really matter what's happening around them. Without knowing your case, it's impossible for me to recommend which hearings you should/shouldn't attend -- I'd hate for you to miss something crucial based on my uninformed opinion. I can tell you that the Pre-Trial Hearing (the second in the TPR series) is usually "administrative" in nature. Discussions of paperwork, witnesses, order of witnesses, etc. Mostly, if not completely, lawyer "stuff." And I can also tell you that in my experience, JRs scheduled in the middle of a TPR series are usually a rubber-stamp for things to continue as they are. However... while it's not the norm at either the Pre-Trial or end-of-the-road JR, you just never know when something dramatic is going to happen that turns a case on its ear. Sorry if that's not all that helpful -- if I was personally involved in your case, I could probably give you a better answer.
