After your Preliminary Hearing in Pennsylvania, the next step is Arraignment in a PA DUI/DWI.   The Preliminary Hearing his held at the local District Justice Court.   After the Preliminary Hearing (assuming your PA DUI/DWI case is held for court) the case is then transferred to the county Common Pleas Court.   In Bucks County, your PA DUI/DWI case will be transferred to Doylestown where the Bucks County District Attorney will review your PA DUI/DWI case.

After the case is transferred to the county Common Pleas Court, this is when you should apply (if eligible) for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (A.R.D.) first offender DUI/DWI program.   There is actually an application form for you to sign under the threat of perjury.
