After arraignment at 11th Circuit Court of Schoolcraft County

In Schoolcraft County, initial arraignment and the first setting of bond occur in the 93rd Judicial District Court (300 Walnut Street, Room 135, Manistique; 906-341-3630), which handles first appearances and preliminary examinations and sets or accepts bail on both misdemeanor and felony cases. For felony charges, the District Court conducts a preliminary examination to determine probable cause; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 11th Circuit Court (300 Walnut Street, Room 164, Manistique), which has jurisdiction over felony trials and sentencing. At arraignment the judge advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond, which under Michigan practice may be personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% cash bond, or a full cash or surety bond, with conditions based on the offense, criminal history, and flight or public-safety risk.
