The hearing officer may, upon his or her own motion or the motion of a party, hold a prehearing conference for the purpose of formulating or simplifying the issues, obtaining admissions of fact or documents which will avoid unnecessary proof, arranging for the exchange of proposed exhibits or prepared expert testimony, limiting the number of witnesses, any procedure for the hearing and any other matters which may expedite orderly conduct and the disposition of the proceedings or settlements thereof.

-
The hearing will not be conducted according to the technical rules of evidence. Any relevant evidence may be admitted, except where precluded by law, if it is of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable and prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs, even though the evidence might be subject to objection in civil actions.
-
Hearsay evidence, as that term is used in civil actions, may be admitted/or the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence, but it is not sufficient to support findings of fact unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions.

-
Except as otherwise provided in the Tribal Constitution, a party may not seek any type of judicial intervention or review of a hearing until after the hearing results in a final decision of the Tribal Court, Tribal Appellate Court, or the Tribal Court Chief Judge’s appointed designee.
