Answer:

This is called an Arraignment;

Step-by-step explanation:

This is where a bail, the defendant stating if he is innocent or Guilty, etc. This is where the constitutional right to understand your charges you're being faced with, you're accuser, ultimately a Judge would be set, for the case.
