True Grit

Thursday January 12, 1 - 2 pm: Midday on the Law - Bail hearings, court commissioners, ticket quotas, and a 'True Grit Writ'

Time again for Midday on the Law, our look at legal matters in the news with attorneys (and wife and husband) Julie Rubin and Jim Astrachan. On today’s docket: The Maryland Court of Appeals says newly-arrested defendants who can’t afford a lawyer must be provided one during bail hearings; a Howard County judge throws out a drunk-driving case that she said was linked to a police quota system for citations, and the Baltimore Housing Authority has property seized to settle a debt.
