It is possible that the District Attorney's Office will identify a case as appropriate for DUI Court at the pre-trial screening stage, but if you are interested in participating in DUI Court it is recommended that you complete a DUI Court Referral Form with your attorney. Your eligibility will be determined based on your prior criminal record and the current charges.
The next step will be to schedule an interview with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office to ensure that you qualify for the program. Following that, a plea date will be scheduled. Your information and case file will be forwarded to the DUI Court Probation Team and the DUI Court specialist.
Before the plea date, you will be scheduled for an Electronic Home Monitoring/DUI Court screening, and you will also be assessed according to the Pennsylvania Client Placement Criteria ("PCPC"). The assessment is designed to identify your specific needs and risks, and is used by the DUI Court Team to decide your drug and alcohol treatment options, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and mental health treatment if necessary.

The laws surrounding DUI's differ from location to location which means the law must be checked within the respective area of the individual with the DUI. Upon completing the necessary requirements or being eligible for the removal of the DUI, the court must first approve for the DUI to be expunged from the individual's record. The expungement depends on whether it was the individual's first time as an offender, the amount of time that has passed since the DUI, and what the severity or the nature of the crime was. These factors are all considered upon the deciding of the removal of the DUI.
