What is an appearance bond?

  1. A bond that guarantees a defendant's return to court

  2. A type of insurance policy

  3. A public safety bond

  4. A bond exclusive to civil lawsuits

The correct answer is: A bond that guarantees a defendant's return to court

An appearance bond is a financial agreement that ensures a defendant will return to court for their scheduled hearings. By signing an appearance bond, the defendant commits to attending all court appearances, and in return, they are often released from detention while pending trial. If the defendant fails to appear, the court can impose penalties, including forfeiting the bond amount. The other options do not accurately describe the nature of an appearance bond. A bond that guarantees a defendant's return to court specifically aligns with the functions of an appearance bond, while the other choices involve distinct concepts, such as insurance policies, safety bonds, and bonds related to civil lawsuits that do not pertain to the assurance of attending court sessions.
