In 1981, the Judicial Institute of Maryland was
formed by administrative order of the Chief Judge
of the Court of Appeals. The Institute was estab-
lished to provide comprehensive, relevant, diverse
and cost-effective continuing legal education to the
judges of Maryland. A program of in-State continu-
ing education for all Maryland judges is developed,
implemented, and evaluated by the Institute, which
is responsible to the Maryland Judicial Conference
for all judicial education and training.
The Institute is governed by the thirteen-mem-
ber Board of Directors, whose chairperson and
judicial members are appointed by the Chairperson
of the Executive Committee of the Maryland Judi-
cial Conference in consultation with the Chairper-
son of the Maryland Judicial Conference. Judicial
members of the Board include one judge from each
of the appellate courts; four judges from the circuit
courts; and four judges from the District Court of
Maryland. In addition, the dean of the University
of Maryland School of Law, the dean of the Univer-
sity of Baltimore School of Law, and the Board of
Directors of the Maryland Institute for Continuing
Education for Lawyers (MICPEL) each select a
representative to serve on the Board.
