arraignment

Read a random definition: ethical consideration

A quick definition of arraignment:

An arraignment is the first time a person accused of a crime goes to court. They will hear what they are being charged with and will have to say if they are guilty or not guilty.

A more thorough explanation:

An arraignment is the first step in a criminal case. It's when the defendant appears in court to hear the charges against them and enter a plea. This is an important part of the legal process because it sets the tone for the rest of the case.

For example, if someone is arrested for stealing a car, they will be brought to court for their arraignment. The judge will read the charges against them and ask how they plead. If the defendant pleads guilty, the case may be resolved quickly. If they plead not guilty, the case will move forward and a trial may be scheduled.

Another example is if someone is arrested for assault. At their arraignment, they will hear the charges against them and have the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. If they plead guilty, they may be sentenced right away. If they plead not guilty, the case will continue and evidence will be presented to determine their guilt or innocence.

Overall, an arraignment is an important part of the criminal justice system because it ensures that defendants are aware of the charges against them and have the opportunity to enter a plea.
