LJuCR 7.6
                    ARRAIGNMENT AND PLEAS


     (a) Time and Procedure for Arraignment.

     (1) As to a juvenile held in detention, upon the filing
of an information the clerk of court, at the request of the
prosecutor, will schedule an arraignment to be held within
14 days after the information is filed.

     (2) As to a juvenile not held in detention, upon the
filing of an information the clerk of court, at the request
of the prosecutor, will schedule an initial hearing pursuant
to LJuCR 7.5(a) within 30 days of the filing of the
information.  The juvenile will be arraigned at this initial
hearing.

     (3) An in-court appearance by the juvenile and counsel
is required at the initial hearing unless a Waiver of
Arraignment signed by the juvenile, the defense attorney and
approved by the prosecutor has been filed with the court; or
a continuance order signed by the prosecutor, the defense
attorney and approved by the court has been filed.

     (b) Plea.

     (1) For a juvenile in detention, a pro-forma not guilty
plea will be entered at the arraignment hearing.  At that
hearing the clerk of court will schedule a change of
plea/trial setting hearing not later than five court days
thereafter on the daily 9:00 a.m. offender calendar.

     (2) For a juvenile who is not in detention, if a plea
of not guilty is made at the time of arraignment, the court
will schedule an adjudicatory hearing within the time limit
prescribed by LJuCR 7.8.  If a plea of guilty is made the
court will proceed to a finding of guilty and disposition or
continue the matter for disposition in accordance with LJuCR
7.12.

     (3) If further time is requested by the juvenile to
consider a plea the matter may be continued five court days
if the juvenile is in detention, 15 court days if the
juvenile is not in detention, to the daily offender calendar
at 9:00 a.m.  This time may be enlarged or reduced upon a
showing of good cause.
