Answer

To "suspend" means either to "hang" like from a rope, or in this case, to "hold" "stop" or "pause".

It means it's better not to take a long break in the middle of a hearing.

Answer

"Not suspend a hearing for too long" means that the hearing will be stopped, but to not stop the hearing for a long period of time.

Answer

Hi Tianna:

To "suspend"  a   hearing is to delay it, and to  change the date of its occurrence.

Delays in hearing,  trial dates and other legal proceedings are common, as they  tend to be beneficial to either the prosecution or defense.   Either attorney can  request a suspension, and the judge can initiate such a delay on his own, or her own if it is deemed necessary.
