Elsie Law's Daily Dose Of The Law

"QUESTION: Is it possible to have two arraignments in the same case?

ANSWER: Yes, in felony cases, in states that operate a two-tiered system of trial courts. One arraignment takes place in the lower tier, and a second arraignment in the higher tier court if the lower tier court decides in a preliminary hearing that the case should proceed as a felony." -From, "The Criminal Law Handbook" By: Bergman & Berman-Barrett
