"A proceeding (usually by a court) where evidence is taken for the purpose of determining an issue of fact and reaching a decision based on that evidence." Courts also use hearings to hear arguments regarding issues of law. The decision by the court is generally called a ruling.
In some circumstances, a hearing could result in a judgment.
