In civil court, the Rules of Civil Procedure are followed, either the State rules or the federal rules if the court is federal. One person brings a lawsuit, serving a summons on the defendant, then the defendant has a certain period of time to ANSWER (often 20 days). Motions are made and then the matter is heard before the court (either a Bench Trial or a Jury Trial), or the parties can settle before the case is heard in the court.
A lot of different things can happen at a civil court hearing. It can be anything from a "status hearing" where the judge wants to know how things are proceeding between the litigants insofar as discovery (sharing of potential trial information) is going, to a hearing on a "motion" which is where one or the other party is posing a question that as a matter or procedure or substance may limit or terminate the litigation. And frankly a "hearing" can include certain limited kinds of trials, like a "default" hearing where if the defendant has failed to file certain papers within a required time, the plaintiff can come in and with proper testimony have a "default hearing" and get a "default judgment" against the defendant. After a judgment it can include "supplemental proceedings" such as hearings on procedures to collect a money judgment, or for contempt of court. Oral argument on an appeal is a kind of hearing.
