Written Arraignment And Plea Of Not Guilty {Rule 2.37 Form 6}

Rule 2.37—Form 6(a) - WRITTEN ARRAIGNMENT AND PLEA OF NOT GUILTY (SELF-REPRESENTED). This form is used by a defendant in an Iowa criminal case who chooses to represent themselves without an attorney. By completing and submitting this form, the defendant formally waives their right to appear in court for an arraignment and instead enters a written plea of not guilty. The form ensures the defendant acknowledges receipt of the indictment or trial information, understands the charges filed against them, and is aware of their legal rights, including the right to a speedy trial. The defendant also confirms their correct legal name, provides contact information, and either asserts or waives their right to a trial within 90 days of the indictment or trial information being filed. www.FormsWorkflow.com
