           CRIMES REQUIRING DEFENDANT'S APPEARANCE
                       AT ARRAIGNMENT


     A lawyer may not enter a written plea of not guilty on behalf
of a client, if the charging document states that one or more of
the charges involves domestic violence, harassment, violation of
an anti-harassment or protection order, stalking, or driving while
under the influence of intoxicants, driving while under the age of
21 after having consumed alcohol, or physical control of a vehicle
while under the influence of intoxicants.  For such charges, the
defendant must appear in person for arraignment; and the court
shall determine the necessity of imposing conditions of pre-trial release.
