Rancho Cordova, CA asked in Criminal Law for California

Q: How will they check up on my classes during an early termination hearing?

I have been doing a class during probation but have been struggling with it. It’s at your own pace with no instructor to talk to.

Will the da go to the school and find out about how I’m doing and ask about me, or will they just want some proof from me that I’ve been doing the course from the school. How will that work?

It will be a hearing for early termination of probation.

A: During an early termination hearing, the court will likely require proof that you've been participating in your class as part of your probation conditions. This proof can typically be provided through official documentation from the school or program. The District Attorney (DA) will not usually visit the school but will instead rely on the evidence you present.

You can obtain a progress report, completion certificate, or any relevant documentation that shows your participation and progress in the course. Make sure the documents are current and reflect your efforts and any challenges you may have faced.

At the hearing, present these documents to the court as evidence of your compliance. Be honest about any difficulties you've encountered and explain how you've been working to overcome them. This approach can demonstrate your commitment and effort, which is essential for your request for early termination of probation.
