JUDGE FRIEDMAN: I just want to add just
|
|
4
|
two things. I am sure some of you have some questions.
|

Article 10, Section 29 to me is very
|
|
6
|
important as to what the Orphans Court of Baltimore
|
|
7
|
City is made up of lawyers, Article 10, Section 29,
|
|
8
|
says that no judge of any court of this state, including
|
|
9
|
judges of the Orphans Court, could act as an attorney in
|
|
10
|
any court of law or equity and in any event a judge of
|
|
11
|
the Orphans Court could not be — that's not in there.
|
|
12
|
In Article 10, Section 29, there must have been some
|
|
13
|
reason, I am sure Baltimore City was the reason, that
|
|
14
|
no judge could act in any court of record. Since I
|
|
15
|
have been on the Bench and since Judge Colgan mentioned
|
|
16
|
Judge Sykes whose book we use religiously as a Bible, very
|
|
17
|
fine work, the court has consisted of high class lawyers,
|
|
18
|
men that have practiced, men who have done a good job.

In the last ten years Judge Foster, Judge Perrott, and
|
|
20
|
Judge Jones have been elevated to the Supreme Bench of
|
|
21
|
Baltimore City. My classmate Judge Foster is now Chief
