As a Maryland litigator, much of my life is run by the Maryland Rules. While the Maryland Rules are annotated and there are a few editions of commentary, there appears to be no blog or other website devoted to the Rules and to cases from the Court of Appeals and Court of Special Appeals applying the Rules. I am, above all things, a total geek. I love the Rules. As an attorney my duty is to serve the client, and the Rules are the best tools for doing so. Despite the genre of television courtroom drama, most of civil litigation is motions practice, discovery, and other seemingly mundane things that, in Maryland, are run by the Rules.
The purpose of this blog is a personal intellectual exercise. My goal is to do one Rule or sub-Rule a day until the Rules have been exhausted. I expect that I will miss that goal regularly. After wading through the Rules, I intend to post updates and comments on Rules related decisions.
Of course, I'm a lawyer, so I am going to write a lot of meaningless language that boils down to the following - this is a personal blog, some navel gazing, so do not depend on it or me for anything.
