Cell Phone Rule Shot Down
The Maryland Daily Record reports that the state courts’ Rules Committee has rejected a proposed ban on cell phones in Maryland courthouses. I wrote about this proposed rule last week.
Good call. Not having cell phones at trial would have been a logistical disaster for trial lawyers.
This is the proposed rule that got shot down.
- Cell phone usage in Maryland courtrooms (current list of Maryland courts where you can bring your cell phone into court)
- United States District Court for Southern District of California (cell phone rules)
- Mistrial for juror tweets

But the proposed rule had an exception for attorneys possessing identification approved by the Court of Appeals.
