Maryland Court of Special Appeals Rules on Drexler v. Bornman
In the case of Drexler v. Bornman, an issue arose before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals concerning the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act i.e. the “Act”. The Act states that a court in a child’s home state (which is determined by where the child lived with the parent for at least six consecutive months, with temporary absences allowed) “has exclusive jurisdiction to make an initial child custody determination.” This means that only the child’s home state courts can determine who gets child custody.
Supreme Court Preserves Cell Phone Privacy
Let’s face it: the cellphone has become the every man’s digital assistant. We use it to manager our calendars, store information on our personal and business contacts, do our basic banking, check our email, access our social media, navigate unfamiliar areas and hundreds of other tasks in our daily lives. As a result of modern technology and our everyday behaviors, our devices that we carry in our pockets and purses contain an enormous amount of personal data about you. Even your mere location is traceable whenever you make a call, send a text or upload a new status update.
