JUVENILE COURT COMMITTEES

The acts of 1931, Chapter 323, authorized the appointment by the
Governor of a Magistrate for Juvenile Causes in each of the counties
of the State, except Allegany, Washington and Baltimore Counties,
provided the Board of County Commissioners decide to have such a
Magistrate, and fix and make provision for the payment of the Magis-
trate's salary.

This law also requires the Governor to appoint a Juvenile Court
Committee for each of the counties to which the law applies. When
one of these counties decides to have a Magistrate for Juvenile
Causes, then it is the duty of the Juvenile Court Committee for that
county to recommend to the Governor qualified persons for the posi-
tion, and after the Magistrate has been appointed the Committee from
time to time is to advise with the Magistrate in respect to the selec-
tion of probation officers and other matters.

In each county the Juvenile Court Committee consists of five mem-
bers, whose terms are four years each.
