The Maryland Courts are now on UA-cam. Are you considering representing yourself in court? These videos unravel complex legal principles and procedures to make understanding and navigating the courts easier.
The Maryland court system has four levels: two trial courts and two appellate courts. The trial courts consider evidence presented in a case and make judgments based on the facts, the law and legal precedent (prior legal decisions from a higher court). Appellate courts review a trial court's actions and decisions and decide whether the trial judge properly followed the law and legal precedent.
