Abstract:
In North Carolina the motion for appropriate relief (MAR) is a single, unified post-trial procedure for raising errors made during a criminal trial. Both defendants and the State are permitted to file MARs. One procedural issue that arises in connection with MARs is whether they can be resolved on the filed papers or whether hearings are necessary or required.

Another piece of legislation for sheriffs is still working its way through the legislative process.

There were no major overhauls by the 2001 NC General Assembly in the field of criminal law and procedure; however, it did produce some significant changes.
