Maryland Court of Appeals

The Maryland Court of Appeals is the state's highest court, responsible for interpreting state laws and the Maryland Constitution. It handles serious legal issues and decides on appeals from lower courts. Judges, known as justices, review cases to ensure the law was applied correctly. The court has the authority to establish legal precedents, which guide future court decisions. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law and ensuring justice in Maryland. Decisions made by the Court of Appeals are final, with very limited opportunities for further appeal.
