If you've litigated a contract dispute in Maryland, you've likely referred to the "four corners" rule. This rule, as commonly understood, means that a court interpreting a contract is confined to the language within the "four corners" of the document and can only consider extrinsic or "parole" evidence if the language is ambiguous.

Some extrinsic evidence is fair game during a court's initial "four corners" review. You can learn more about this subtle but important clarification to the rules of contract interpretation in my blog post here: https://lnkd.in/dqrdFNBF
