A Clerk-Magistrate's Hearing is vitally important in your Massachusetts criminal case. If we're successful, you won't have a criminal record. The standard of proof is merely probable cause, which is a very low standard. It's not beyond a reasonable doubt standard as you would have at trial. The clerk-magistrate has a good deal of discretion as to the outcome of your hearing. They may issue a criminal complaint, refuse to issue the complaint, or hold the case open for a period of time.
