1. Initial Appearance – This is the defendant’s first appearance in court, and the defendant is advised of the charges. The judge appoints an attorney if the defendant cannot afford one.
2. Arraignment – The defendant appears in court to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. Many limited jurisdiction courts combine the initial appearance and the arraignment
3. Trial – If the defendant pleads not guilty, a trial is held. The judge—or at the defendant’s request, a jury—can hear evidence on the charges and find the defendant guilty or not guilty.
4. Sentencing – If the defendant is found guilty, the court imposes the appropriate punishment (sentence).
5. Appeals – Appeals from decisions of limited jurisdiction courts go to the supreme court. An appeal may be heard as a new trial (a trial de novo), or the supreme court judge may review records of trial proceedings if records have been kept. Decisions made in small claims court cannot be appealed.
