Jackson Supp. L. R. 7.012
As amended through June 11, 2024
In misdemeanor cases, when a jury trial is requested, the defendant's attorney may file an "Order on Arraignment" setting the matter for a pretrial conference. Said pretrial conference shall be scheduled in accordance with SLR 7.014. The "Order on Arraignment" shall waive formal arraignment and shall set forth that the attorney has advised the defendant of the right to remain silent, right to an attorney, and right to a jury trial. It shall further state that the attorney has explained to the defendant what the defendant is charged with and the maximum penalty. Attached hereto as Appendix B is a sample form for use as an "Order on Arraignment".
