The State of Maryland is very unique in that it is composed of 23 counties and Baltimore City. Although all alcoholic beverage licenses must be issued in accordance with the Law of the State of Maryland, they must also comply with the Rules and Regulations of all 24 subdivisions.

There is a Board of Liquor License Commissioners appointed for each of the 24 jurisdictions, who must act in accordance with the Law of the State of Maryland but at the same time have the right to promulgate their own rules and regulations which in some instances are codified and in other instances must be obtained directly from that specific Board.

My offices, over the last 30 years, have appeared before 16 of these jurisdictions on behalf of local, regional, national restaurants and hotels. The quagmire of the Law of the State of Maryland and the presence of the various rules and regulations generally requires the assistance of counsel.

Mr. Brooks has been afforded the opportunity of representing these
Regional and National hospitality providers:
