What You Don't Know About The Maryland Court Records

Maryland Court Records

Information on the cases, actions, and other legal measures passing through the Maryland judicial system can be referred to at the website set up for Maryland court records by the State Government at casesearch.courts.state.md.us/.

MD court records have previously been made available according to certain laws established on a State-wide basis and codified through the source of the Maryland Constitution, which are intended to provide for the rights both of the ability of residents of the State to gain access to Maryland judicial records and to guard against the occurrence of an invasion of privacy happening through any of the confidential information as might be contained in Maryland court records.


In order to gain access to Maryland judicial documents through the specific option of the State Government’s online website, users must agree to a statement verifying that they have read, understood and agreed to the conditions established for access to Maryland court records.

The foundation of authority for the rules thus governing access to MD court records are contained in the body of Maryland Rules, and specifically by Rule 16-1001 to Rule 16-1011.

In general, all of the information contained in the MD court records is made publicly accessible and available for reproduction, and if Maryland court records cannot be further used in this way, then the exception to Maryland judicial openness must be provided for through legal procedures and provisions. Other cautions warn of “SCOPE,” “TIME,” “HISTORY,” and “RELIABILITY” limitations in MD court records inquiries.
