Discussion of Relevance from: THE DISPARATE IMPACT OF THE MARYLAND RULES ON BLACK AND BROWN INDIVIDUALS

April 20, 2021

Prof. Nina Chernoff

This Report was prepared in 2021 at the request of the Rules Review Subcommittee of the Maryland Judiciary’s Committee on Equal Justice. What's exciting is that the authors of this report are law students from two clinics at the Univ. of Maryland School of Law!

This excerpt includes the portion of the report dedicated to relevance. You'll note that the Maryland rules are formatted a little differently ("5-401" rather than "401") but the content is essentially the same as the federal rules. Also, I've included the relevant footnotes for this section but you don't need to read them.
