WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        Ch. 3

30, except the proviso in that sentence about a judge
of the Orphans' Court in Prince George's County.

Subsection (a)(2) of this section is revised to apply
generally rather than only to officials in Prince
George's County.

In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the word
"superintendent" is substituted for the former
obsolete word "keeper", to refer to an individual who
supervises a penitentiary.

The second sentence of former Art. 10, § 27, which
specified that the provisions of § 27 could not be
interpreted to prohibit admission of sheriffs,
wardens, superintendents, or their deputies to the
Bar, is deleted as surplusage.

The prohibition, in the first sentence of former Art.
10, § 30, against practice by a judge of the Orphans'
Court in Prince George's County is deleted as
inconsistent with the later enacted proviso in the
same sentence that allowed a judge of the Orphans'
Court in Prince George's County "elected to serve a
term commencing after June 1, 1965" to practice law in
matters outside the jurisdiction of an orphans' court.
That proviso is revised in ET § 2-109.

Defined terms: "Bar" § 10-101

"Court" § 10-101 "Lawyer" § 10-101

"Practice law" § 10-101

10-605. BARRATRY.
