D. Md. L.R. 107.14
Speaking with Witness on the Stand
Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, during all breaks and recesses counsel may speak
with a witness while conducting a direct examination of the witness but (with the exceptions
noted below) may not discuss testimony with the witness, including a party, while the witness
is on cross, re-direct, or re-cross examination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise ordered by the Court, counsel representing a defendant in a criminal case may
confer with the defendant during breaks and recesses, and a non-party witness may confer
with the witness’s own counsel at any time.
