REVISOR'S NOTE: Ch. ___, Acts of 1989, which enacted the

Business Occupations Article, also amended this
section to strike a former cross-reference to "Article

sentence and the reference to a judge of Orphans'
Court in Prince George's County in the first sentence
of former Art. 10, § 30.

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes that, under Canon 41(1)(b) of Md. Rule 1231, one
holding a judicial position in a court of limited
jurisdiction is allowed to engage in the part-time
practice of law under certain circumstances.
