Morrissey Hearing

Morrissey Hearing

A Morrissey Hearing is a legal proceeding that is used in the United States in response to a parole violation. It is an informal hearing intended to ensure that the violation is based on verified facts.

The hearing can take place with the defendant in or out of custody. If applicable, a victim may be ordered to testify at a hearing. During the hearing, a member of the Parole Hearing Division reviews the evidence of the violation.

The parolee is usually present and can ask the victim questions. But in extreme cases the victim can be interviewed outside the parolee's presence. If this happens, the parolee can leave a list of questions for the victim to answer. After the hearing, the victim can be notified about the outcome.
