Constitutional law attorneys handle cases involving the construction and interpretation of federal and state constitutions, including individual rights and governmental powers. Constitutional law cases can involve issues like First Amendment rights -- such as freedom of speech, press, and religion -- and the checks and balances on authority among different branches of government. Most of the federal constitutional rights are found in the Bill of Rights, that was created originally as a limitation on the action by the federal government, but many of those rights are also applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
Randallstown is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It is named after Christopher and Thomas Randall, two 18th-century tavern-keepers. At that time, Randallstown was a tollgate crossroads on the Liberty Turnpike, a major east-west thoroughfare. Today it is a suburb of Baltimore, with a population of 30,870 (2000 census). In the 1990s, Randallstown transitioned to a majority African American community, and is currently notable for its broad ethnic diversity. Its median household income ($58,686)is the highest in the near-northwest suburbs, and the fifth highest in Baltimore County, ahead of such other affluent communities as Towson, Owings Mills, Pikesville, Catonsville, and Perry Hall.
