An omnibus hearing is a pretrial hearing. It is usually scheduled two weeks from the date of the arraignment, unless otherwise mentioned in court. The main purpose of it is to introduce evidence, including testimony from police officials and seizing evidence from the defendant.

The prosecutor and the defendant's lawyer/counsel attend the hearing to discuss pretrial matters pertaining to the case. It is commonly followed by a trial, a plea of guilty, or a plea bargain.
