The Maryland Judiciary has introduced a new mobile application aimed at enhancing public access to legal resources and information. This app, named the Maryland Law Help app, consolidates various online resources to assist users in understanding and navigating the court system more effectively.
Maryland Court of Appeals Chief Judge Mary Ellen Barbera emphasized the significance of this technological advancement, stating, "The new mobile app brings court access into the digital age. With this innovation, we are improving access to justice by using technology to facilitate people meeting their legal needs."
Designed for both Apple and Android devices, the app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. The Judiciary's website provides links for easy download.
State Court Administrator Pamela Harris highlighted the app's role in informing citizens and connecting them with vital information effortlessly. She remarked, "This app includes the features and information that people seek out most often, and puts them together in one place, at their fingertips." Harris also noted that access to such legal information can help individuals resolve conflicts without needing court intervention.
