  • Narrator One
    THE MARYLAND COURT SYSTEM Host: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS COURTS IN MARYLAND? THIS VIDEO WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE LEVELS OF THE MARYLAND STATE COURTS AND WHAT THOSE COURTS DO. THIS VIDEO IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS. IN PART ONE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT THE MARYLAND TRIAL COURTS. IN PART TWO, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT THE MARYLAND APPELLATE COURTS. AND IN PART THREE, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER JUDICIAL BODIES IN OUR STATE. THERE ARE FOUR LEVELS OR TYPES OF COURTS IN THE MARYLAND COURT SYSTEM: TWO TRIAL COURTS AND TWO APPELLATE COURTS. TRIAL COURTS CONSIDER EVIDENCE PRESENTED IN A CASE AND MAKE JUDGMENTS BASED ON THE FACTS AND THE LAW. APPELLATE COURTS REVIEW THE TRIAL COURT’S ACTIONS AND DECISIONS, AND DECIDE WHETHER THE TRIAL JUDGE PROPERLY FOLLOWED THE LAW. WHEN REVIEWING JURY TRIALS, THE APPELLATE COURT MAY HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER THE JURY’S DECISION WAS PROPER, GIVEN THE FACTS PRESENTED AND THE APPLICABLE LAW. WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF APPELLATE COURTS A LITTLE LATER IN THIS VIDEO. THE DISTRICT COURT OF MARYLAND HAS 34 COURT LOCATIONS AROUND THE STATE. THE DISTRICT COURT HEARS THE MOST CASES OF ANY OF THE COURTS IN MARYLAND. MOST MARYLANDERS WHO HAVE HAD TO GO TO COURT IN MARYLAND HAVE BEEN TO DISTRICT COURT. THE DISTRICT COURT HEARS SOME CRIMINAL MATTERS INCLUDING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS… MISDEMEANORS, OR CRIMES WITH LOWER PENALTIES… AND SOME LIMITED FELONIES, OR MORE SERIOUS CRIMES… THE DISTRICT COURT ALSO HEARS CIVIL, OR NON-CRIMINAL MATTERS. THESE ARE CIVIL CASES WITH CLAIMS OF $30,000 OR LESS… DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES… LANDLORD/TENANT MATTERS… AND REPLEVIN – CASES WHERE SOMEONE IS SEEKING THE RETURN OF GOODS THEY CLAIM WERE WRONGFULLY TAKEN OR HELD – AND SMALL CLAIMS MATTERS – CASES INVOLVING A CLAIM FOR $5000 OR LESS.

Join the Resolution The Maryland ADR Commission’s Practical Action Plan The Honorable Robert M. Bell Chief Judge, Maryland Court of Appeals Chair, ADR Commission December 1999 Dear Fellow Marylanders: On behalf of the Maryland Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Com- mission, I am pleased to present this Practical Action Plan. This docu- ment reflects over a year and a half of work by hundreds of individuals who served as members of the ADR Commission, its six working com- mittees, its four regional advisory boards and its national advisory board. Together, we are committed to turning our “culture of conflict” into a “culture of conflict resolution” as we progress into the new millennium. As Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals and as chair of the ADR Commnis- sion, I recognize that it is essential for the court to take the lead in promoting the use of ADR where appropriate. As you will read within, the ADR Commission was formed and operates under the court’s leadership, but its scope is not limited to improving the courts and increasing litigant satisfaction.
