Bar Bad Bars: Protest of Renewal (2025)

Our hybrid webinar will cover the requirements for community members protesting the renewal of a liquor license in Baltimore City.

Has your neighborhood been dealing with a nuisance liquor store or bar?
Do you already have a detailed log of code violations and problems at the premises and just want to check that you're as ready as possible to protest the renewal of their license - OR - do you feel totally clueless on what your community's options even are? Learn more in this webinar.

ON A RELATED NOTE: Community Law Center will be accepting applications for assistance with 2025 protests of liquor license renewal through Thursday, February 14, 2025. No applications will be accepted after this deadline, as it takes time to draft and sign petitions, and prepare your case.
