It's a phrase you don't hear often these days (outside legal circles), but yes, I'd say it works there. (He pleaded guilty to that.)

Hi OTS,
A word in your ear - the spelling is 'arraignment'

Just a quickie: do 'to summon' and 'to arraign' imply the same action?
Thanks. |

No they are quite different.
Criminals are usually arraingned. Right after a suspect is arrected, charged with a crime and taken into custody, arraingment is the first phase of the judicial process when the now defendant is taken to a courthouse before the judge and when he or she pleads guilty or not guily to the crime(s) and where bail is set.
On the other hand anyone can be summoned to appear in court, for example to give a testimony.
