Wanted: Judges

February 19, 2008

The judiciary has begun advertising (scroll to the bottom of the page) for the next vacancy on the Court of Special Appeals, which will be created when Judge J. Frederick Sharer turns 70 in April. Sharer sits from the third circuit, so that means his replacement will need to be from one of the counties in that district: Allegany, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, Howard or Washington.

So all you Western Maryland lawyers and judges with Rowe Boulevard dreams, take note: applications are due March 17 at 4:30 p.m.

Court of Appeals Judge Irma Raker will also retire when she hits 70 in April, but the judiciary has not yet started soliciting applicants for her seat.

Of course, retired Judge Dale Cathell’s Court of Appeals seat hasn’t been filled yet. The Appellate Judicial Nominating Commission submitted only one
name to Gov. Martin O’Malley in January, so the governor asked the committee to try and muster up more candidates. Look for news on that a bit later this month.
