Phil. Cnty. Pa. *571
As amended through December 18, 2021
Arraignments may be conducted by Trial Commissioners. As authorized by Pa.R.Crim. P. 571, the Arraignment is scheduled as a matter of course approximately fourteen (14) days after the date the matter is held for court, or a Municipal Court Appeal is filed. The District Attorney shall file the Information before the scheduled Arraignment date and must have discovery available at the Arraignment. If the Information has not been filed before the scheduled Arraignment date, and the Arraignment is not waived by the defendant, the Arraignment shall be continued until the Information is filed. However, the Arraignment may be waived, even if the Information has not been filed, consistent with Pa.R.Crim.P. 571.
