After filing grievances and requesting transfers en masse in June, employees of the Baltimore City Circuit Court's Jury Division staged a walkout for nearly an hour Tuesday to protest the policies of Jury Commissioner Nancy M. Dennis and her lead worker, Cheryl Reese. They were joined outside the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse by more than 50 members of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3674, which represents employees of the clerk's office in the circuit court.
Lawyer at bail-setting Indigent defendants have a right to counsel when they first appear before a district court commissioner shortly after arrest, according to a lawsuit in Baltimore City Circuit Court. The putative class action was filed by Venable attorneys Michael Schatzow and Mitchell Merviss in conjunction with University of Maryland School of Law professor Douglas Colbert and a team of students. The commissioner sets bail "without anyone knowing what occurred there since the hearing is neither recorded or transcribed," Colbert wrote in an e-mail yesterday. "The defender's presence would further offset the prosecutor's ability to influence the commissioner's decision." Colbert has long argued that the right to counsel attaches at least at the bail review hearing, when a judge rev...

Kevin P. Clark, apparently, still wants his job back. Though he declined to comment on the proceedings, the former Baltimore City Police Commissioner was in Annapolis Thursday as the Court of Appeals considered whether then-Mayor Martin O'Malley had the authority to remove Clark from office in November 2004.
A Baltimore-based financial publisher has asked the city circuit court to quash the Maryland Security Commissioner's subpoenas to brokerage firms seeking information about its subscribers. Agora Inc. calls the commissioner's subpoenas of Fox Investments/ Man Securities Inc. and other brokerage firms nothing more than a back-door attempt to obtain lists of Agora's subscribers after the same court ruled last year that those lists are protected from disclosure.
Criminal defendants have a right to counsel when their bail is set, Maryland's top court unanimously held on Wednesday. Without finding a constitutional guarantee, the Court of Appeals said the state's Public Defender Act entitles defendants to have a lawyer present at the initial bail hearing. "What the Court of Appeals has done is end the system of incarceration without representation," said Michael Schatzow, the Venable LLP attorney who argued the case on behalf of defendants seeking counsel. A majority of the Court of Appeals also rejected the Office of the Public Defender's request for a delay so it could secure additional funding and personnel to provide representation to indigent defendants at 170,000 initial bail hearings annually. "The public defender's asserted defense of bud...
