Who will apply to succeed Judge Cathell on the Court of Appeals?
December 12, 2007
FYI: Today at 4:30 p.m. is the deadline to apply for the Court of Appeals seat vacated by Judge Dale Cathell when he turned 70 last summer.
Cathell sat from the 1st circuit, which covers Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties. That means his replacement’s got to be from one of those places.
The Court of Special Appeals judge who sits from that circuit is Sally Adkins, who has been on the appellate bench nine years and served on the Wicomico County Circuit Court for two years before that. She is also relatively young - 57 - which would let her sit on the Court of Appeals for more than a decade.
Adkins is considered a likely applicant, but I wonder who else will try for the seat. Does anyone who knows more about Shore judicial politics than I do - not exactly tough - want to hazard a guess in the comments?
