BAL stands for "Blood alcohol content", so the most basic answer to this question is that it is a test that tests for the content of alcohol in your blood. The units in which it gives the result of this test is usually in percentage of the blood that is alcohol at the time of the test. The most common way of testing for the BAC of somebody is a breathalyzer, which is most often used by police who are testing to see if a driver is over the legal limit of BAC, which is .08 if you are over 21 in most states in the U.S.

What does 'bal unk' mean in criminal court?

It is likely written as "BAL unk" in a police report or arrest record, or copied from these papers to the court record. BAL in this context probably means "blood alcohol level". "Unk" is a standard abbreviation for "unknown". A "BAL unk" in a court situation likely means no blood was drawn right after the incident, so there was no blood specimen to submit to the laboratory to test it. As an example: If a drunk driver commits a hit and run which results in bodily injury, but the driver is not found and arrested until hours after the crime, no blood test would be done because during every hour the blood alcohol content or level reduces/declines. Therefore, the police could only report to the court "BAL unk".
