Assault and battery are actually two unlike crimes, and a person may be charged with either or both, depending on the case. In some cases, an individual was aggressively attacked in an dispute and after defending themselves, got detained and charged for the crime. Also in Maryland you can only be charged with Assault even if it is a battery. Everything is under the assault statute of that makes sense. So you can’t be charged with a battery. A battery would be charged as an assault.
In self-defense cases it may be necessary to find other witnesses to the event. Time is very important in such a charge, as witnesses often become harder to find as time goes on.

I’m moderating a webinar this August 27, 2014, 4pm Eastern Time about dominating your local market. Every attendee will receive a complimentary copy of the best-selling legal technology book Online Law Practice Strategies ($50 value).
I saw Jabez Lebret (the presenter) speak at the Maryland State Bar Annual Meeting back in 2013 and was blown away by what he had to say. His book is very substantive and me being the gigantic nerd that I am, I read it in a day. He taught me to use Yelp as a lawyer before everyone was using Yelp. His advice is always the latest and greatest.
Here is the link for the webinar.

Kara Kowalski v. Berkeley County Schools, et al. (4th Cir. July 2011)
In a case involving cyber-bullying, a student sued the school district for limiting her First Amendment free speech rights by suspending her for creating a hate website against another student at school. The Fourth Circuit determined that the speech created actual or reasonably foreseeable “substantial disorder and disruption” at school; therefore, this was not the “speech” a school is required to tolerate and did not merit First Amendment protection.
Did the Fourth Circuit get the case right?
