Preparing for a Court Hearing
अदालत सुनुवाइको तयारी
Context: A person visits a legal aid lawyer to prepare for their upcoming local court hearing.
Lawyer
Your hearing is next Wednesday at Burwood Local Court. Let's go over what will happen on the day.
ग्राहक
मलाई अलि डर लागिरहेको छ। मैले पहिले कहिल्यै अदालतमा गएको छैन।
Lawyer
That's understandable. When you arrive, you'll go through security, then check in at the registry. I'll meet you in the foyer at nine o'clock.
ग्राहक
म के लगाउनुपर्छ? र के बोल्नुपर्छ?
Lawyer
Wear neat, clean clothes — no hats or sunglasses inside. Address the magistrate as 'Your Honour'. I'll do most of the talking on your behalf.
ग्राहक
दुभाषियाको व्यवस्था भएको छ?
Lawyer
Yes, I've requested a Nepali interpreter through the court. They'll translate everything the magistrate says and help you understand the proceedings.
ग्राहक
सुनुवाइ कति बेर लाग्छ?
Lawyer
Your matter should take about twenty to thirty minutes once it's called. But there may be a wait time, so be prepared to stay for a couple of hours.
ग्राहक
सुनुवाइमा के नतिजा आउन सक्छ?
Lawyer
Based on your case, the best outcome would be a Section 10 dismissal, meaning no conviction is recorded. I'll present your character references and argue for leniency.
