                  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.
