ARRAIGNMENT
Is the procedure when a person is called to the court, (generally being the District Court or the Supreme Court) the offence is read to him or her, and the person being at that stage an accused person pleads guilty or not guilty to the charge.
In the District Court and the Supreme Court, this procedure is generally formally conducted.
In the District Court and the Supreme Court, if a person pleads not guilty the matter is then listed for trial, generally before a jury.
Under certain circumstances, a trial can be conducted by a Judge alone without a jury.
