About Maryland Exhibit Requirements
Maryland courts operate under the Maryland Rules with MDEC (Maryland Electronic Courts) providing statewide e-filing. Check the scheduling order for the exhibit exchange deadline. Baltimore City is its own judicial circuit, separate from Baltimore County. Confirm local practice with the clerk of the county where your case is filed.
