The Pennsylvania Waiver of Appearance For Arraignment is a legal document that allows an accused person to appear in court without actually attending in person. This document allows the accused to waive their right to appear in court in person, which is known as a “waiver of appearance.” Commonly, this document is submitted by a defendant’s attorney on their behalf. This document is also called a “waiver of arraignment” because it allows the accused to waive their right to be personally present at the arraignment. There are two types of Pennsylvania Waiver of Appearance For Arraignment: the “General Waiver” and the “Specific Waiver.” The General Waiver is a document that allows the accused to waive their right to appear in court for all future court dates related to their case. The Specific Waiver, on the other hand, is a document that allows the accused to waive their right to appear in court for a specific court date. Once the Waiver of Appearance is filed in court, the accused will not be required to personally appear in court at the time of their arraignment. The court will then proceed with the arraignment in their absence.
