A Clerk Magistrate's Hearing Lawyer, also known as a Show Cause Hearing Lawyer, occurs when you have been accused of committing a misdemeanor crime, but have not been formally arrested yet.
This usually happens when there has been a private complaint made against you.
A law enforcement officer may also fill out an application requesting the court to issue a notice for a Show Cause hearing when a crime is alleged to have occurred.
The purpose of a clerk's hearing is to determine whether there's a probable cause for the criminal charge to proceed to arraignment, meaning that you would be formally charged.

In Massachusetts, there are two categories of crimes, a misdemeanor crime and a felony crime.
A misdemeanor crime is an offense that does not require a state prison term as part of the possible or maximum punishment.
Instead, the maximum jail sentence for a misdemeanor offense is 2.5 years in a county jail.
A felony, on the other hand, may require prison time in state prison, minimum mandatory sentences, and other severe sentences such as death.
While the maximum penalty for a misdemeanor offense is 2.5 years in county jail, it will result in a permanent criminal record in your history.
