STATE PROSECUTOR SELECTION
& DISABILITIES COMMISSION
Eugene M. Feinblatt, Chairperson, 1988
Appointed by Governor (who names chair): Russell T.
Baker, Jr., 1988; Charles Cahn II, 1989; Barry A.
Gold, 1989; Barbara Sue Liebman; one vacancy.
Ex officio: J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General
233 East Redwood St.

The State Prosecutor Selection and Disabilities
Commission was created by a 1976 law which took
effect on January 1, 1977 (Chapter 612, Acts of 1976).
When the Governor notifies the Commission that a
vacancy exists or is about to occur in the office of the State
Prosecutor, the Commission seeks and reviews applica-
tions of proposed nominees for the position. The Com-
mission then interviews and evaluates eligible applicants
and reports in writing to the Governor (within seventy
days after notification) the name of the person or persons
it finds to be legally and professionally qualified. The
Governor exercises the power of appointment or rejection
within thirty days of receiving the Commission's report.
If, after a hearing, the Commission finds the State
Prosecutor guilty of misconduct in office, persistent
failure to perform the duties of the office, or conduct
prejudicial to the proper administration of justice, the
Commission may reprimand the State Prosecutor or
recommend to the Governor the removal from office
of the State Prosecutor. The Commission also is em-
powered to investigate allegations made against the
State Prosecutor which, if true, may warrant removal
or discipline. In this regard, the Commission may
conduct hearings, administer oaths and affirmations,
issue process to compel attendance of witnesses and
the production of evidence, and require persons to
testify and produce evidence by granting them immu-
nity from prosecution, penalty, or forfeiture.
The Commission is comprised of seven members.
The Attorney General serves as an ex officio voting
member. Six members are appointed by the Governor.
Of those appointed, two (only one of whom may be
a lawyer) are nominees of the Senate President, and
two (only one of whom may be a lawyer) are nominees
of the Speaker of the House of Delegates. These
persons may not be members of the General Assembly
or full-time State employees. One member, who must
be a lawyer admitted to practice law in Maryland, is
nominated by the Board of Governors of the Mary-
land State Bar Association. One member is nominated
by the Governing Board of the Maryland State's
Attorneys' Association. That person must be an in-
cumbent State's Attorney at the time of appointment
and throughout the term of service on the Commis-
sion. Members serve four-year terms. The Governor
designates the chairperson (Code 1957, Art. 10, secs.
33D-33F).
