What is it called when the judge meets with an attorney before an arrainment?

When a judge meets with an attorney before an arraignment, it is typically referred to as a "pre-arraignment conference" or "pre-trial conference." This meeting allows the judge and attorney to discuss procedural matters, potential plea deals, or any preliminary issues related to the case before formal charges are presented in court. It helps streamline the arraignment process and can lead to more efficient case management.
