An arraignment is a legal proceeding in which a person accused of a crime is brought before a court to answer the charges against them. The term 'arraignment' is derived from the French word 'arraigner, ' which means 'to accuse.' During an arraignment, the accused is informed of the charges against them and asked to enter a PLEA of guilty or not guilty. The TRIAL is the next step in the process, during which the prosecution presents evidence and witnesses to prove the accused's guilt. An ACCUSATION is an allegation of wrongdoing, while an INDICTMENT is a formal charge issued by a grand jury. A LAWSUIT is a civil action brought by one party against another in a court of law. Pleas are statements made by the accused in response to the charges, while PLEA bargaining is a negotiation between the defense and the prosecution in which the accused agrees to plead guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence. Pleading is the act of making a PLEA in court.
