Since its first publication in 1977, Appellate Practice for the Maryland Lawyer: State and Federal has been a valued resource for attorneys throughout the state. The new edition published this month follows the second, released in 2001, and offers critical updates on developments in Maryland and federal appellate rules over the past six years. Edited by Paul Mark Sandler and Andrew D. Levy, it ... includes three remarkable interviews between Mr. Sandler and Chief Judge Robert M. Bell, Chief Judge Joseph F. Murphy, Jr., and Judge Paul V. Niemeyer. The volume is supplemented with two DVD recordings of real oral arguments and commentary about them from the editors, both of whom are accomplished trial and appellate attorneys.

Now, for the first time since 1996, Pattern Examinations of Witnesses for the Maryland Lawyer has been completely updated, to reflect amendments to applicable Maryland statutes, rules and case law. More than sixty pattern examinations - including nine new ones developed since the release of the third edition ten years ago - show you how to conduct witness examinations for practically every issue that arises at trial. These patterns demonstrate clearly and concisely how to offer testimony on direct examination, how to cross-examine and impeach various types of witnesses, and how to use discovery in the examination of witnesses. Sandler and Archibald not only illustrate the pattern examinations, but they ... provide excellent commentary, including citations to the rules and cases that you can rely on to ensure compliance with the rules of evidence and to meet opposing counsel’s objections.

The Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the Board of Law Examiners that Mark W. did not qualify to take the lawyer examination. Mark W. was admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania, but had failed the Maryland bar examination eight times. He worked as a hearing examiner for the Maryland Department of Employment and Training for a number of years and then applied to take the lawyer examination, instead of the regular bar examination, based on his admission to practice in Pennsylvania and his years of service in Maryland as a hearing examiner. The appellate court agreed with the board of law examiners that Mark W.'s work as a hearing examiner did not qualify as his having been regularly engaged "as a practitioner of law" under the applicable admission rule (now Rule 13). "We conclude that the applicant merely worked with legally-related matters and that his activities did not fall within the fair intendment of the term "practitioner of law" as used in the statute and the rule." The court noted that the applicant could still obtain admission to the practice of law in Maryland if he passed the regular bar examination.
