Commercial bail refers to those instances when the bail bond is posted by a bail bondsman. Commercial bail is often referred to as surety bail bonds.

What is the difference between the judge giving a surety bond or cash surety?
A surety bond can be supplied by a bailbondsman who only puts up a percentage of the amount of money needed, but is liable for the whole amount if the defendant absconds. Cash surety is the ENTIRE amount of the bond must be posted, not just a percentage of it, as in the previous example.
What's the difference between bail and bond when it comes to securing release from custody?
Bail is the amount of money set by the court to secure a defendant's release from custody, while a bond is a financial guarantee provided by a bail bondsman to secure the defendant's release. Bail is paid directly to the court and is refunded if the defendant appears for all court dates, while a bond requires a fee paid to the bail bondsman, who then assumes responsibility for the full bail amount if the defendant fails to appear in court.
What is the type of bail where the defendant deposits a percentage of the bail amount?
It is called a corporate surety bail bond. A licensed bail bond company enters into an agreement with the defendant and the court. The defendant pays the bail bond company a fee, usually 10--15% of the bond amount set by the court. The bail bond company agrees to pay the court the amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear for trial at any point that he is out on bail. The bail bond company does not actually provide the bond amount unless the defendant fails to appear.Sometimes the court will require that a defendant obtain a corporate surety bail bond even if he has the assets to put up for bail. This is usually done when the defendant has access to a considerable amount of assets, say proceeds from an illegal activity, and the court wants a third party to guarantee the defendant's appearance. Bail bond companies don't like to pay bonds when their clients "skip" trial, and will pursue the defendant relentlessly. For that reason, some judges will order a defendant held pending establishment of a corporate surety bond.Also, most bail bond companies don't actually have the funds on hand. They are financed by finance companies who specialize in providing such bonds. If the defendant fails to appear and is declared a fugitive, the financing company is the one who actually provides the funds. However, the bail bond company is still obligated to the financing company. If the amount of bond is high, most bail bondsmen will require the defendant, or someone willing to assist the defendant, to put up an asset as collateral. This quite often is real estate, in which case the defendant mortgages his property to the bail bondsman.In some jurisdiction, the court will allow the defendant to pay to the court the usual percentage in lieu of obtaining a bond. So, if the court sets the bond amount at, say, $10,000, the defendant can pay the court $1000 cash in lieu of obtaining the bond. In most cases, the defendant receives a refund of the cash amount once his case has been adjudicated. This usually only happens when the risk-of-flight of the defendant is considered minimal.

What if you only posted 10 percent of a bail and the person jumps bail what are the consequences for you?
You lose the ENTIRE bail amount (i.e.: if the bail was $10,000 and you put up $1,000. you will lose the entire $10,000.). The money bond was an insurance policy that the person show up in court. If they left you holding the bag..... too bad. Now you know why bailbondsmen hire bounty hunters. ------------------------- It depends on the type of bail the court requires the defendant to post. In most cases, the type of bail that requires a defendant to post 10--15% of the bond is called a corporate surety bail bond. In this case, the defendant pays the bail bond company 10--15% of the bond amount and, in return, the bail bond company insures the defendant's appearance in court for all hearings and trial. The bail bond company does not actually provide the court officials the amount of the bond; it merely guarantees the defendant's appearance. If the defendant "skips out" and fails to appear, the bail bond company will have to pay the bond amount to the court. Recently, courts have allowed some defendants to pay a percentage of the bond amount directly to the court in lieu of obtaining a corporate surety bond. So, if the bond amount set by the court is, say, $10,000 and the usual percentage is 10%, the court will accept $1000 cash in lieu of a corporate surety bond. If the defendant fails to appear, he or she loses the cash they provided as bail. If the defendant makes all required appearances, the money is usually refunded one the case is adjudicated.
What is the difference between a secured and unsecured bond when posting a bond to get out of jail?
A secured bond requires collateral to be pledged to cover the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear in court. An unsecured bond does not require collateral, but the defendant may owe the full amount if they do not appear in court as required.
Does a bail bondsman pay the entire bond amount?
The bail bondsmand does not pay the full amount unless the defendant fails to appear at trial or any hearings that require his appearance. A licensed bail bond company enters into an agreement with the defendant and the court. The defendant pays the bail bond company a fee, usually 10--15% of the bond amount set by the court. The bail bond company agrees to pay the court the amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear for trial at any point that he is out on bail.

How does chemical bonding between water molecules make water a valuable coolant in organisms?
Hydrogen bonding occurs between adjacent water molecules. This is a strong intermolecular force. Water hence requires a lot of energy to change from a liquid to a gas. The evaporation of water hence has a cooling effect as a small amount of water requires a lot of energy to evaporate, removing heat in the process.
What if the defendant is to poor to pay then how does the plaintiff get his money?
If the defendant is too poor to pay a judgment, the plaintiff may face challenges in collecting the owed amount. The plaintiff can attempt to garnish the defendant's wages or bank accounts if they have any income or assets. Additionally, they may seek to enforce a lien against the defendant's property. However, if the defendant truly lacks the financial means, the plaintiff may ultimately be unable to recover the full amount owed.
