Questions and answers

Can I represent myself in court in Maryland?

Answered for: Maryland

a person may not practice, attempt to practice, or offer to practice law in the State unless admitted to the Bar

Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. §§ 10-101(h), 10-601, official source, read 2026-08-20

This is the provision Maryland uses to say who may and may not practise law there. The words above are the statute as read at the official source on 2026-08-20.

This answer is true in Maryland and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Maryland.
