• Commentary: The Pursuit of Justice: A Visit to the Hague Inspires Confidence in International Law

For one week in September, I and one other Maryland judge, Cathy Hollenberg Serrette, also from the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, had the honor and pleasure of participating with other judges from this country and South America in the Fourth Sir Richard May Seminar on International Law and International Courts. This seminar was conducted at The Hague, Netherlands, a unique and captivating city known at times as a "special city" or "the judicial capital of the world." But the most accurate and most recent description which best comports with the indelible impression that I and other participants came away with after our whirlwind learning experience for the six days we were there is "The City of Peace, Security and Justice.

• Maryland Appellate Court Voids Award to Truck Driver

A truck driver erroneously charged with stealing hams from a Landover meat-packing facility was not entitled to a $1.5 million judgment against the company for malicious prosecution, the state's intermediate appellate court held yesterday.Kenneth Moore failed to prove Smithfield Packing Co. Inc., a Virginia-based ham producer, lacked probable cause to believe he was stealing from the company, the Court of Special Appeals concluded.We hold that the evidence was insufficient to sustain Moore's claim for malicious prosecution because, when the evidence is viewed in a light most favorable to appellees, [Smithfield] had probable cause to believe that Moore was involved in a theft, Judge Arrie W.

• Md Court of Special Appeals Rules Fired Worker Cannot Receive Unemployment Benefits

The Circuit Court for Prince George's County cannot direct an administrative agency to hold additional proceedings for a man fighting to get unemployment benefits - where the evidence presented to the circuit court was never presented to the agency, the Court of Special Appeals held last week. Henry S. Boardley lost the chance to tell the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation's hearing examiner why he claims he was fired from the Prince George's County-based Dimensions Health Corp. when he missed a July 2003 hearing set up for that purpose.

In an unreported opinion, the appellate court reversed a grant of summary judgment by the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, which had favored the store.

• Md. Court of Appeals Rules 15-Year-Old Assault Victim Assumed Risk by Leaving School Grounds

A 15-year-old sexual assault victim assumed the risk of injury when she left Suitland High School in Prince George's County with her abuser without the school's permission - even if she was too young to consent to the sexual act that followed, the Court of Special Appeals has held. The court affirmed last year's ruling by the Circuit Court for Prince George's County in favor of the county board of education. Tanika Tate had sued the board in 2001, alleging negligence by school employees since she had been permitted to leave the school with an unauthorized adult in violation of school policy.
