JUVENILE COURT
Court House
(All Terms Expire May, 1941)
H. Hamilton Hackney Chief Judge 2124 Mt. Holly St.
John A. Sherman Associate Judge Hearst Tower Building
The Governor designates, with the consent of the State Senate, one
Judge and an Associate Judge of the Juvenile Court. (Ch. 542, 1931.)
The Juvenile Court of the City of Baltimore was created in 1902, at
which time it is believed there were only two other Children's Courts in
the United States.
It has exclusive jurisdiction over children under the age of 16 years and
the general jurisdiction given by law to the Police Magistrates over all
offenses and certain special jurisdiction over adults who in any wise con-
tribute to dependency, neglect or delinquency of minors.
The powers conferred on the Court are so wide and ample as the Legis-
lature can grant under the restrictions of the Constitution.
The Court is in session from 10 A. M. each day, Sundays and legal
holidays excepted.
