post the hearing and allow others to come. Have the typical (but not closed) hearing but before it's complete allow other parties to briefly state that they want to be heard and why they should be permitted to. Jury is allowed a brief opportunity to deliberate and decide if the parties wishing to be heard should be heard (some guidelines here would be nice to have in writing). After brief deliberation, interested parties are heard or not heard, jury deliberates and comes back with a ruling.

Only parties that can contribute to the eventual facts found should be able to comment.

We need a better chance to have a just decision before the trophies are handed out.
