Bail and Bond Hearings

The purpose of bail is to give an arrested person his or her freedom pending the outcome of the case. Bail is a complex issue and there are many special rules that apply. Once bail has been set it may be posted in a variety of ways, including:

• Bail bonds
• Cash bail
• Real property

Pretrial release may also occur by way of a simple promise to appear, which is commonly referred to as being released "on one's own recognizance."
