A "board hearing?"

A defendant is entitled to see the evidence being used against him in a civil trial.

Here is a link to Alabama's Rules of Civil Procedure: http://judicial.alabama.gov/library/rules_civ_procedure.cfm

You may review the evidence that the state plans to use at the hearing but to get it you need to follow the rules for discovery. There is a proper way to make the requests. If you don’t do it right you won’t get what you are looking for. You need to know what to ask for and what kind of discovery technique is best for getting it. If you don’t have a lawyer representing you then I suggest you find one, especially if this is a alcoholic beverage license matter since if you lose the license you may lose a significant part of your business revenue and you stand a better chance to succeed if you have a lawyer than if you go at it alone. Otherwise, look at the discovery rules through the link that Quincy provided in the previous reply.
