How long is the period before the citation hearing?
The citation hearing will be set for a date at least 30 days after issuance and service of the citation (see Rule 4-15). Often, the date of the hearing is three or more months from the date of issuance and service of the citation. In some circumstances, the citation hearing will occur as a summary hearing (see Rule 4-24.1) and therefore usually will occur within four to eight weeks after issuance and service of the citation.
