Bail

Posted By The McGuire Law Corporation || 3-May-2015

Bail allows a defendant to be released from custody on the posting of a bond, cash deposit or security determined necessary to guarantee the defendant's appearance in court. Bail as used in the law has several different meanings. Bail may refer to the security posted for the defendant's appearance to the surety or bondsperson who posts the security or to the process of releasing the defendant. When bail is in the form of an undertaking, it is referred to as a bail or surety bond. When it is in the form of a deposit of money, the term cash bail is used. Admission to bail is the order of a court or judge that the defendant is to be discharged from custody on the posting of bail. The acceptance of bail by the court or judge is called taking of bail.
