4th Circuit concurs Md. strip-club law too broad

The Maryland law was challenged by two adult clubs in Prince George's County, the Legend Night Club and the Classics Night Club.

An attorney for the clubs, Jimmy A. Bell, said the Maryland law was so restrictive that it essentially would have outlawed adult entertainment.
