Maryland Court of Special Appeals Vacancy

by

Twenty-nine people have applied to fill the at-large vacancy on the Court of Special Appeals left by Judge James A. Kenney’s mandatory retirement. (Parenthetically, most judges continue to sit on the bench after they retire, so can we just drop the mandatory retirement nonsense? The antiquated notion of mandatory retirement at 70 does not fly in 2007.)

There are an impressive number of quality applicants for the vacancy. They are:

Claudia Adeline Barber, a family lawyer in Laurel
Judge Donald E. Beachley (Washington County)
Bruce Bender, a trial lawyer in Montgomery County
Judge Stuart R. Berger (Baltimore City) [update: now on the court]
Judge Victor K. Butanis (Harford County)
