. Bar Exhibit 12 was a page from a pamphlet entitled “Security Deposits and Application Fees." The exhibit points out that a tenant whose security deposit is wrongfully withheld by a landlord has the right in Maryland to sue for three times the amount withheld. Ms. Nes-bitt claimed that she had read the pamphlet and had discussed its contents with Respondent, who had assured her that her small claims complaint would be amended to seek treble damages. To bolster Ms. Nesbitt’s testimony in this regard, Bar Counsel marked for identification and sought to have admitted in evidence a copy of the pamphlet, or at least the relevant page therefrom. 2
