Maryland Court System
The Maryland Court System is organized into several levels, including the District Court, Circuit Court, Court of Special Appeals, and Court of Appeals. Each level handles different types of cases, with the District Court focusing on minor civil and criminal matters, while the Circuit Court deals with more serious cases and appeals from the District Court.
The Court of Special Appeals is the intermediate appellate court, reviewing decisions from the Circuit Courts, and the Court of Appeals is the highest court in Maryland, addressing significant legal issues and final appeals. This structure ensures a comprehensive judicial process for residents.
