Research Maryland Laws & Perform Case Searches with the Lexis® Service
Deepen your knowledge of Maryland state laws and increase your efficiency when conducting Maryland case searches with the Lexis® solution.
Famous for fresh seafood and historical landmarks, Maryland is nicknamed “America in Miniature" because of the variety packed into its 12,407 square miles of land and water. From mountains and beaches to farmland and forests, the only thing denser than this state’s diverse terrain is Maryland case law. Dating back nearly two and a half centuries, Maryland court cases still boast of relevant and weighty precedent—starting with McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819.
Regardless of how old the Maryland case law is, these cases remain binding law until they are overruled by other cases or until the law is changed by statute or regulation. Legal practitioners turn to Lexis when conducting a Maryland case search because of our superior, state-specific content. Our up-to-date content includes published decisions from the Maryland Court of Appeals since 1770, Maryland court cases from the Court of Special Appeals since February 1967 and cases, recommendations from the Tax Court since January 1979.
