The lowest court in the Maryland state court system is District Court. District Courts hear limited civil and criminal cases. District courts have lesser jurisdiction than Circuit Courts, which may hear all civil and criminal cases, but usually only hear cases that are beyond the jurisdiction of District Courts. There is a third type of court in the Maryland state trial court system -- Orphans' Courts, but Orphans' Courts hear only limited probate and guardianship matters. In terms of hearing the least egregious types of cases, such as small claims and traffic violations, District Court is the lowest court.

What was the ruling of the appeals court before McCulloch v Maryland came before the Supreme Court?
The US Supreme Court case, McCulloch v. Maryland, (1918) was initially heard in Baltimore County Court, where a Maryland citizen, John James, sued James McCulloch for failing to pay taxes levied against the Second Bank of the United States. James hoped the court would rule McCulloch had to pay the taxes and that he (James) would collect a portion as a reward. The Baltimore County Court judge upheld Maryland law and found against McCulloch.The case was then appealed to the Maryland Court of Appeals, which affirmed the County Court decision (naturally, the Maryland State courts would uphold their own state laws).McCulloch v. Maryland reached the US Supreme Court on a writ of "Error to the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland."Case Citation:McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 US 316 (1819)
