The Conference of Circuit Judges originated as
the Conference of Circuit Administrative Judges,
which was formed on March 14, 1972 by rule of
the Court of Appeals (Maryland Rules, Rule 1207).
At that time, the Conference was composed solely
of the eight administrative judges of the judicial
circuits. On November 28, 1978, the Conference
was reorganized as the Conference of Circuit
Judges.
The Conference of Circuit Judges meets peri-
odically to consider and make recommendations
concerning the administration of justice and the
circuit courts. The Conference also may initiate
complaints to the Commission on Judicial Dis-
abilities concerning alleged judicial misconduct
or disability.
The Conference consists of sixteen members.
Eight are the administrative judges of the eight
judicial circuits. From each of the eight judicial
circuits, the judges of each circuit elect a fellow
judge to represent them at the Conference. The
chairperson is elected by the Conference for a
two-year term. The Administrative Office of the
Courts serves as secretariat to the Conference.
