Ive been scheduled for an arraignment. What does that mean?
An arraignment is typically your first appearance in Court, and your first opportunity to speak with either a Judge or a Magistrate. At your arraignment, you will be advised of the nature of the charges against you, the possible penalties if you are found guilty of the crime, the issue of bond, if bond has not already been set, and the case will be scheduled for further proceedings, if appropriate.
