L CrRLJ 4.1
(e) Arraignments will normally be held on the next court
day after the Defendant has been cited and released or,
if in custody, on the next court day after their
arrest. At arraignment, the Defendant will be provided
with a "Statement of Rights/Plea Form" and, if they are
requesting a court-appointed attorney, a "Financial
Declaration" form to fill out and present to the Judge
before entering a plea. The Court shall assure itself
that the Defendant understands his/her rights and the
charge(s) before taking a plea. If an interpreter is
necessary for the Defendant to understand their rights,
the Court may set over the arraignment until such
interpretation services can be secured. At the
arraignment, the Court shall set a pretrial hearing
date approximately one month later and a trial date
within the speedy trial time as determined by the
Court.
