Summary/Abstract: An article falls into the area of reflection called public philosophy and it is an example of normative analysis of functioning of the institution of public hearing introduced to Polish democratic order in 2006. Public hearing is presented as a dynamic process which consists of the three phases, with different methods, scope and purpose. An analysis focuses on the first phase, which relates to the formal and legal arrangements adopted in the Rules of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, primarily the fundamental issue of convening a public hearing, in which author distinguishes seven problem areas that require special attention: 1) who should be allowed to table a motion to convene a public hearing? 2) should the call of a public hearing be optional or arbitrary? 3) the moment in the law-making process of convening a public hearing; 4) the problem of publicizing the decision to convene a public hearing; 5) the contents of the registration form; 6) possibility to restrict the number of participants; 7) the issue of cancellation of a public hearing.
