The legal landscape in North Carolina is continually evolving, and one of the recent adjustments that has garnered considerable attention from lawyers in Raleigh NC are the changes to pretrial release from jail and the related bond procedures.
These amendments to the procedure for determining terms and conditions for pretrial release, particularly as they affect those charged with DWI (Driving While Impaired) offenses, are significant.
It’s called the “Pretrial Integrity Act” and with it comes substantial changes to how a bond is set and who may set terms and conditions of release from jail for certain criminal charges in North Carolina.
