Cannot find the bail ladder anywhere in my criminal tab
A practice explanation referred to climbing a ladder and releasing on the least restrictive terms. Searched my index under bail, under release, under interim and got nothing useful. What is this actually filed under?

Try judicial interim release. That is the statutory name and it is probably why your three searches missed.

Index it under both names and cross reference, since questions use the plain word and the book uses the formal one.
Two things to put on that page while you are there. Release on the least onerous terms is the starting position and a justice has to work upward from it with a reason. And there is a list of situations where the accused has to show why detention is unjustified instead, which inverts everything, so a fact pattern naming one of those is telling you something before you have read any facts.
the inversion is what I had completely missing. adding both names tonight
