cial circuit or appellate judicial circuit for which they may
be, respectively, elected or appointed. They shall be not less
than thirty years of age at the time of their election or
appointment, and shall be selected from those who have
been admitted to practice law in this State, and who are
most distinguished for integrity, wisdom and sound legal
knowledge.
4A.
(a) There is created a Commission on Judicial Disabili-
ties composed of seven persons appointed by the Governor
of Maryland. The members of the Commission shall be
citizens and residents of this State. Four members of the
Commission shall be appointed from among the judges of
the appellate courts, the Circuit Courts for the Counties,
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City and the District
Court; two members shall be appointed from among those
persons who are admitted to practice law in the State, who
have been so engaged for at least fifteen years, and who
are not judges of any court; and one member shall repre-
sent the public, who shall not be a judge, active or retired,
and who is not admitted to practice law in this State. The
term of office of each member shall be for four years com-
mencing on January I, except that of those persons first
appointed to the Commission one shall be appointed for a
term of one year, one for two years, one for three years,
and two for four years and provided further that the addi-
tional lawyer member added by these amendments shall
take office January I, of the year next following adoption
of these amendments by the voters and the additional judi-
cial member on January I, of the year after the additional
lawyer member is to take office and thereafter all terms
shall be for four years. Whenever any member of the Com-
mission appointed from among judges in the State ceases
to be a judge, when any member appointed from among
those admitted to practice law becomes a judge, when any
member representing the public becomes a judge or is ad-
mitted to the practice of law in this State, or when any
member ceases to be a resident of the State, in such case
the membership of this member shall forthwith terminate.
Any vacancies on the Commission shall be filled for the
unexpired term by the Governor in the same manner as
for making of appointments to the Commission and subject
to the same qualifications which were applicable to the
person causing the vacancy. No member of the Commission
shall receive any compensation for his services as such but
shall be allowed any expenses necessarily incurred in the
performance of his duties as such member.
