The State's Attorneys' Coordination Council
was created in 1977 when the office of State's
Attorneys' Coordinator was established (Chapter
710, Acts of 1977). The Coordinator is selected by
and serves at the pleasure of the Council.

The State's Attorneys' Coordinator establishes
standard and specialized training programs and co-
ordinates legal education programs and services for
State's Attorneys and their professional staffs. The
State's Attorney for each county and the City of
Baltimore prosecutes and defends, on the part of
the State, all cases in which the State may be inter-
ested, except those for which the State Prosecutor
is responsible (Code 1957, Art. 10, sec. 34).

With the approval of the State's Attorneys'
Coordination Council, the Coordinator imple-
ments uniform reporting procedures for State's At-
torneys and their staffs and confers regularly with
the Attorney General, the State's Attorneys, and
the State's Attorneys' Coordination Council. The
Coordinator also serves as a liaison between
Maryland's State's Attorneys and local, State, and
federal law enforcement agencies and organiza-
tions.

Annually, the State's Attorneys' Coordination
Council submits to the Governor a consolidated
budget for the office of State's Attorneys' Coordi-
nator.

The Coordinator's Office publishes a bimonthly
newsletter, The Maryland Prosecutor, as well as spe-
cialized manuals on subjects of concern to Maryland
prosecutors.

The State's Attorneys' Coordination Council is
composed of eleven members. These include the
Attorney General; and the State's Attorneys for
Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel,
Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. Also
serving on the Council are those State's Attorneys
chosen by the State's Attorneys of their region to
represent Central Maryland (Howard, Carroll or
Harford County); Southern Maryland (St. Mary's,
Charles or Calvert County); Western Maryland
(Frederick, Washington, Allegany or Garrett
County); the Upper Eastern Shore (Cecil, Kent,
Queen Anne's, Caroline or Talbot County); and the
Lower Eastern Shore (Dorchester, Wicomico,
Worcester or Somerset County). Council members
serve two-year terms only during their term of
elective office (Code 1957, Art. 10, secs. 41A-
41D).
