The creation of the Court of Special Appeals was authorized by an
amendment to the Constitution proposed by Article 10, Acts of 1966,
which was ratified on November 8, 1966. The implementing legisla-
tion creating the Court was provided by Chapter 12, Acts of 1966
(Const. 1867, Art. IV, sec. 14A.; Code 1957, 1966 Repl. Vol., Art. 26,
sees. 130-131).
The Court is composed of five judges. One Judge is to be elected
from each of the five special appellate judicial circuits. The terms
of the Judges are for fifteen years. The Governor designates the
Chief Judge.
The Court hears criminal appeals (except where a sentence of death
is imposed) from the decisions of the Circuit Courts for the counties
and the Criminal Court of Baltimore. The Court also considers appli-
cations for leave to appeal under the Post Conviction Procedure Act
(Code 1967, 1967 Repl. Vol., Art. 27, sec. 646A), and the Defective
Delinquent Act (Code 1957, 1967 Repl. Vol., Art. 31B, sec. II). The
term of the Court begins on the second Monday in September in
each year.
The Clerk of the Court of Special Appeals is appointed by the
Court. He maintains the docket, receives the records and briefs of
all appeals filed with the Court and maintains official custody of the
decisions of the Court.
