After the bail process, the next step in the DUI case is the arraignment. This is the first courtroom step in the process. The person suspected of the crime appears in court, before a judge who takes the following actions:

Reads the DUI charges filed against the defendant
Asks whether or not the defendant needs a court appointed lawyer
Asks how the defendant pleads, if the defendant pleads guilty during the arraignment, the judge will often hand down the punishment and the case will be resolved
Decides if bail should be altered or the defendant should be released on their own recognizance
Announces future court proceedings
