Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland
Firing
If fired, and told the only way to get your 2 weeks severance pay is to sign a letter promising never to bring any suit. Can this be considered signing under duress, and can you still sue later because you signed under duress to get your severance.

Re: Firing
Not beyond the realm of possibility (in my opinion), but more likely not("considered signing under duress"), particularly, if the severance proffered was not actually owed to you for any work that you had actually performed for the company.
