About 180 people are employed at the court. The court does not accept e-filing or filing by fax.
The district court handles some civil suits, landlord-tenant disputes, moving violations, misdemeanors and some felonies. Any case in the state may be tried there, but its district covers all of Baltimore County. The court does not provide jury trials. No cameras, cell phones, food, drinks or electronic devices are allowed inside.
