Uniform Laws

Interested in finding out whether MD has adopted a particular uniform law? And, if it has where it was incorporated in the Code? The following page provides this resource for business and financial laws. If you're interested in the UCC in particular, check out this page. Other pages deal with the Uniform Probate Code, the Code of Evidence, and Uniform Family Laws.

Publications From MD Attorney General Site

The Maryland Attorney General site provides access to a number of useful publications. This site provides a number of booklets including "Landlords and Tenants: Tips on Avoiding Disputes," "Buying A New Home: Consumer Rights and Remedies," and "Protecting Your Privacy." The site also provides access to a number of Consumer Tips pages on such topics as "Credit Card Fraud" and "HMOs: Selecting The Best For You."

New MD Code Display

I just noticed the other day that the Division of State Documents has now provided a new table of contents version of the MD Code. This makes browsing the Code much easier and is a big improvement from the free Lexis version. Granted, West has provided a free table of contents version for some time now, but I still find this one easier to use.

Maryland Office of The People's Counsel

If you're involved in a legal dispute with BG&E, you may want to consider giving these folks a call.

This site includes pages on Contracting for Electricity andNatural Gas Supply, County Resource Guides, and summaries of cases the Agency is currently working on.
