Just one criminal-law opinion this week:

BENJAMIN MORGAN HAWKES v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Appeals, Filed: July 22, 2013
http://www.mdcourts.gov/opinions/coa/2013/76a12.pdf
In a conditional release setting under Section 3-114(c), the determination of whether a patient poses a danger to himself or others as a result of mental disorder or mental retardation must take into account proposed conditions of release.

On the civil side:

WILLIAM J. WARR, JR., et al. v. JMGM GROUP, LLC, d/b/a/ DOGFISH HEAD ALEHOUSE
Court of Appeals, Filed July 26, 2013
http://www.mdcourts.gov/opinions/coa/2013/57a12.pdf
The Court of Appeals continued to deny dram-shop liability (where an establishment serves alcohol to a clearly intoxicated patron and the patron subsequently causes injury to a third party), absent a special relationship between parties.
