You'll learn about:
- Inspired by Thurgood Marshall

- 8 people running for 7 positions

- These judges are appointed by the Governor
- Judges must run during the first election after appointment to retain their seats
- Their seats are rarely challenged
- On the process of appointing judges and incumbent judge advantages in the election
-
- Judge candidates must fill out applications for bar associations
- Bar associations make recommendations to the Governor’s Commission that recommends judge candidates to the Governor (the Governor appoints the members of the commission)
- Governor appoints attorneys to become judges
- Lots of politics involved in the process - the bar associations evaluate judge applicants, submit recommendations to the Governor’s commission and the Governor’s Commission sends a couple of recommendations for each vacancy
- Is the judge selection system just? Should we have a different system?
-
- Perhaps not completely fair in Montgomery County
- Each county bar association is powerful
- Other Maryland counties do not charge a fee for judge candidates to apply for a judgeship candidate review - MoCo private bar associations charge $100
- The MoCo bar association has 4 representatives out of the 13 total on the Governor’s Commission
- The MoCo Commission reveals to other candidates before the commission how they voted on all the other candidates. The other bar associations don’t do this.
- Yet - there is an ability to run for judge without an appointment.
