MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1975

The Commission shall notify the Maryland State Bar Association, Inc., the county
or city bar associations in the jurisdiction in which the vacancy shall exist, and
such other bar or citizens organizations as the Commission may deem appropriate,
of the existence of such vacancy, and shall request recommendations therefrom.
The Commission may also seek recommendations from other interested citizens
and from among its members.

The Commission for the judicial circuit covering the area from which the
vacancy must be filled, shall evaluate proposed nominees as fully qualified or not
fully qualified; and shall select and recommend for appointment, by a majority
vote of its entire membership, from among those persons it shall have found to be
fully qualified, not more than seven persons for the vacancy. Where the vacancy
occurs in Baltimore City or in a county having more than two hundred lawyers
contributing to the Client's Security Trust Fund, the appropriate Commission shall
recommend for appointment not less than five persons for the vacancy. Where the
vacancy occurs in a county having less than two hundred but more than thirty
lawyers contributing to the Client's Security Trust Fund, the appropriate
Commission shall recommend for appointment not less than three persons for the
vacancy. Where the vacancy occurs in a county having thirty or less lawyers
contributing to the Client's Security Trust Fund, the appropriate Commission shall
recommend for appointment not less than two persons for the vacancy. However,
if the position to be filled in a trial court judicial office is held by an incumbent
judge who is eligible for reappointment and who desires reappointment, the
appropriate Commission may, with the approval of the Governor, recommend less
than the above-recited minimum number of persons for such position. Where more
than one vacancy occurs in the same jurisdiction at the same time, the minimum
number of persons to be recommended is for each vacancy. The Commission shall
report to the Governor only the names of those persons so selected, in alphabetical
order, and not more than thirty days prior to or sixty days after such vacancy shall
occur. If any person so recommended shall notify the Governor of his
unwillingness to accept appointment, the Governor may request the appropriate
Commission to submit additional recommendations.

The Commissions, with the approval of the Governor, shall adopt such rules for
the conduct of their meetings and for their procedures as they may from time to
time deem necessary and proper.

requires extensive participation of state and local governments and
non-government agencies; and

WHEREAS, Experience has demonstrated that close coordination of the operating
programs at the local, State and Federal levels is essential to their successful,
effective and economical implementation;
