The Colorado Application For Expedited Hearing is a form used to request an expedited hearing in Colorado courts. This application is typically used when a party needs or wants a hearing to be held sooner than the normal court schedule allows. There are two main types of expedited hearings: Emergency Applications and Standard Applications. An Emergency Application must be filed within 15 days of the requested hearing date and must explain why the hearing must be held earlier than the normal court schedule. A Standard Application may be filed at any time, but must include information about the case and why an expedited hearing is necessary. Both types of applications require a filing fee to be paid.
